Brought this one in from screen door. Pardon the yellow paper.
I don't know squat about moths, searched the internet a bit with no luck.
Thanks in advance... BTW - I let him/her go after I was done. Flew right off.
Found it - Apatelodes Torrefacta...

I found that this is Apatelodes Torrefacta. Sometimes confused with Spinx. Thanks for the comment Rick.

Thanks... This was 5 second exposure at f22. Moth was pretty still until it warmed up.
