I Think I Just Found It....
8574 -- Anticarsia gemmatalis (very pale, faintly marked). Velvetbean Caterpillar Moth. Highly variable, I've never seen one this pale before.

Wow!
I've taken other shots of Anticarsia gemmatalis before -- here and here -- but I've never seen one this pale, either. Thanks!
