I have much more confidence that this is C. dichloraria based on the third image rather than the featured first image. Are they the same individual? I can't see a red collar on the first image, neither does there seem to be much red on the costa either at the base or the tip - or any pink fringe to yellow forewing and hindwing margins.

They are 3 males on the same tree on the same night, pictures 3 & 4 are the same animal.
