Sorry if I overdid it with the explanation. It took me a while to decide between the two species, so once I made my decision, I wanted to explain how I got there. Also, explaining things helps them stick better in my mind. :)

Appears to be
Tobacco budworm.
Exe: . This specimen is pretty worn, but you can still see the subterminal line, and it appears to end farther from the apex of the forewings.
Whereas the Subflexus Straw Moth's "subterminal line ends in the apex... or very close to it," as described by Jan Metlevski in the Identification section of the Subflexus Straw Moth.
Example of Subflexus Straw Moth seen here: .
There was a discussion about the difference here: http://bugguide.net/node/view/220976
