Fascista sp.?

Fascista sp.?
Norman, Cleveland County, Oklahoma, USA
August 8, 2009
It would not stop moving when it was sitting out in the open, so the picture is slightly blurry. Seen at our porch light early this morning. Strange behavior: it would fly around the light frantically and then quickly fly away from the light and wedge itself into a crack or doorway. Then it would come back and do the same thing only a minute later. Thought it was Fascista cercersella, but seems to have an extra spot. Any thoughts?
