Frenesia
This appears to be Frenesia - There are two species reported in your neighborhood, difficilis and missa.

Frenesia
At 13 mm, I'll go with F. missa. F. difficilis runs closer to 16 mm. F. missa also has a more pronounced darkening of the cord, that wavy line about 2/3 out from the wing base. Of course, these are based on photographed specimens for which D. Ruiter provided the identification
