Gorgeous photos and interesting moth. I was surprised to find myself considering Aethes - #3755.29 and 3760.2. This is not even a suggestion!

 
Aethes sexdentata
Aethes sexdentata - Hodges#3760.2 looks like a match. Thanks!

 
Not qualified for ID
Sorry, Ilona! I did not mean to be making an ID. I am not qualified to make an ID on your moth. Aethes is a pretty difficult Genus.

I am complimented that you thought I might be close.

 
ID
I'm pretty sure this is the correct ID. It is one of the darkest ones posted but it looks similar to others in this group.

Just wanted you to know I couldn't make an ID. Glad you thought I might be right.

 
moth ID
I posted two photos on BAMONA yesterday so that will be an additional verification (which will probably take a few weeks).

Great idea. Sorry to be so insecure but when I accepted the Contributing Editor position I promised to be careful and to seek coroboration.
