Grape Leaf-roller
It's a Grape Leaf-roller, genus Desmia. It's one of two species, D. maculalis and D. funeralis, which are virtually identical and are lumped together here on bugguide as a species pair.

Grape Leaffolder species pair
From what I read Desmia maculalis and D. funeralis cannot be distinguished in typical dorsal view photos and should be moved HERE if my ID is correct.
