Looks to be Estigmene
Do a search here on Bugguide for that genus.

Thank You
Looks like they can have quite a bit of variation, we had found some that looked close but didn't think they were a match. Also, I had to take several pics to get a good representation. Thanks for the quick reply and helping my daughter learn what she had "discoverd". Thanks again, Mike
