Here is a pic of a moth I collected. Like to get some opinions? I am
thinking Digrammia continuata . Although the one dark line seems too
straight.

I'd say yes, continuata. Since it was collected east of the continental divide, you shouldn't (that I know of) have the issue of the continuata/excurvata complex found in the west, so I'd say it's pretty safe to call it continuata despite the variation in the PM line.
