This moth was found resting on a tree trunk. I am having real trouble identifying it...not even sure of the family. Any help with this ID is much-appreciated!

this guy was about 1" long, that's why a guesstimate of size would help. I'm thinking it might be this one here Pelecystola nearctica - Hodges#0434.1
