Looks like Genus Aristotelia. It would be a first for Rhode Island, but I am not positive of the Genus. I would need confirmation.

Not sure
I've seen what I think are moths in that genus and I've had much more trouble photographing them. This was well over 10mm in length (maybe 15-ish?). I don't think they get big enough, though I might be wrong. If they do, then that might be the right genus. Expert definitely needed. I just went through the MPG plate and nothing struck me as a clear match. See my possible Aristotelia submission below:

Now I am getting some better pictures, but have lost interest in the Genus for the time being. Studying other things instead.
