a suggestion
based on overall appearance it may be something like Cisseps fulvicollis; however, the entire collar of this moth is not visible to determine its definition and there are other genera and species that are marked by a yellow/orange/red collar to confuse the identification. This specimen is worn (note the condition of the antennae)which further hinders identification. Take a look here for more info: http://bugguide.net/node/view/447
