Rubbed Dart?
The closest I can come is Euxoa detersa. Covell says it is restricted to sandy habitats like beaches and river shores. If the habitat for this does not fit yours, then we don't have an ID.

Very excellent..I love finding something I haven't seen before and it is an extra bonus to be able to find out what it is and it's habits.

Thanks again.

Dart moth
Thank you,
This does look like the right category.
I see a lot of similar moths there but didn't see a match.
