I considered Mesopherna palustris and Philobota argotoxa but I'm not convinced that it is either one of those although there are moth identified as Philobota argotoxa which are the same, I think, but I suspect the ID may not be correct. This conclusion is just based on other photos I found on ALA which seem to have distinguishing features that this moth does not have.
