Synanthedon acerrubri?
I believe the white area on the antenna and large black area at the apex of the forewing are indicative of S. acerrubri and not S. acerni.

Same moth?
Hi, Lynette. I just referenced this image in a comment I left elsewhere and was wondering if this is the same moth as in your other image here:



I didn't want to link them without checking first...

 
likely,
I can't be 100% sure. I either failed to link them in the beginning or I took the images at different times of the day and couldn't be sure they were the same individual (or there were two of them?) I'd say it's likely the second scenario. I'll link them.... no real reason not to as I see no visible differences.
