Unknown Underwing moth for ID

I know this is the butterfly forum, and I cross posted this to the insect forum, but wanted to see if anyone can help me ID this underwing moth? It has a bright pattern on the underwing, but I couldn't get a picture before it closed up its wings. I live in WA on the eastside of the Cascade Mountains amongst shrub-steppe habitat but within 5 miles of a major river/riparian system. The pic was taken of the moth on my screen door. If a pic is needed of the underwing, I could try to contain it to get it to spread its wings...but I didn't want to disturb it. I went through a page of underwing moths on the internet, trying to click and view those in my area, but none quite look like it...of course, I can't reliable remember what the underwing pattern looks like.
