Hypercompe scribonia - Giant Leopard Moth - Hodges #8146

.
the similar
Zeuzera pyrina
has all black legs and the black spots are solid with no hollow white showing. Your moth has bolder than average spots but there are some hollow spots.
I cropped your photo to show more moth/less background.
Thanks
