Possibly 7999 -- Double-lined Prominent -- Lochmaeus bilineata
.... or another Prominent (my second guess would be 7994 - Maple [Saddled] Prominent Moth - Heterocampa guttivitta. No way to be certain in either case.

This doesn't look like either
of the Lochmaeus in the guide, so we're confused. Is the image just too poor to rule out Lochmaeus, or can they really be this variable?
