Caenurgina
There are two similar species, C. crassiuscula and C. erectea - the dark bands of the forewing nearly meet and touch the inner margin in the first mentioned and do not touch each other or the inner margin in the second. This photograph is beautiful, however, the details of the moth are not easily distinguished. I can not identify to species level with any confidence. I will move it to the genus level for now.

Could this possibly be a Fora
Could this possibly be a Forage Looper with indistinct markings? There seems to be a lot of variation within that group so I wouldn't want to go out on a limb, but yours looks very similar. It's worth taking a look anyway.
