I thought this moth would be easy to identify but so far I haven't found it. Any information would be appreciated!

Take a look

Thank you!
Steve,
I looked at the Pero moths and think it is most like the Straight-lined Pero though there are some slight differences. Thank you so much for your help. - Carol

Good eye
Your ID is correct. This is a Pero zalissaria. A very nice find.
