Possibly N. bistriaria. I think I can barely see the little faint hash mark just below the AM line on the hind wing. I originally thought the brown form of the Blackberry Looper, but I think maybe the AM line does not have this much curve.

This is a good
learning experience. Another point: I see the small dark discal spot, especially on forewing and perhaps on hindwing too. This is not present in any of the photos of Chlorochlamys chloroleucaria that I see. So I think your prospective ID is correct. Move to species?
