Looks like one of the Datana moths
but unfortunately, they are notoriously difficult to tell apart! Keep your fingers crossed and one of the moth experts might recognize it. Any particular tree or shrub species in your immediate area?

or shrubs here. Strictly suburbia, although there is a corn field just 500 feet from my front door.
