I agree.

Lambdina sp.
Somebody else maybe able to take it farther. Likely the same as this one . As someone commented on that sighting, this one reminds me of Lambdina canitiaria (with lots of dark over-scaling and a seemingly peachy ground color), but that is just a guess.

Thanks,
Josiah! I thought that it looked similar to Lambdina pellucidaria and after closer inspection, I do notice a bit of yellow on its head. This one was not in good light at all.
I've also decided to post another pic of the same critter when it landed on a window that had light filtering through. Please take a look at the second image.
