Moved from ID Request. Hi there. Could you please post moths directly to the moth page? It will help our experts find your image more quickly. Also don't forget to check the "adult" box when you post moths. Thanks!

or Hepialidae?

it looks like a Hepialidae. Perhaps Phymatopus hectoides. But I'm not used to ID the American Moth because I'm from Germany.
