Petrophila sp.
P. fulicalis seems the only likely Petrophila candidate, either visually or distribution. Eoparargyractis irroratalis appears a likely candidate, except the median area is not as "tight" (more white area between AM and shading) as P. fulicalis.

P. fulicalis
Thanks Robert. It looks a lot like both, Petrophilia fulicalis and Eoparargyractis irroratalis. It got me curious, so I started going through all the MPG plates. The one that seems the closest match is Eoparargyractis irroratalis, 800766 – 4785, especially the photo by Bob Patterson. Any chance it could be that one? I don't see a page for it on BugGuide.
