Small Tolype, I think
This looks like Small Tolype, T. notialis. The postmedian line on the forewing is very jaggy, it is smooth in Large Tolype, T. velleda. Also, T. notialis is very dark, T. velleda more gray.

There are other species, Covell (1) mentions T. minta from South Carolina southward, but the description does not match.
