Looks like it to me
This and your other submission do look like Duponchelia fovealis to me.
I suggest you report this to your USDA person in Maine. They might want to find out how it got to your house.
Here is a map.

Thanks
Should I move this and my other photo to the guide page for Duponchelia fovealis? I have also found two more in the same place in my house.
