.
Genus Meganola. I thought this one looked like a possibility but I am not an expert and BG has never identified one in Lousiana. Not a species ID without confirmation.

Nola triquetrana has been identified in Lousiana, but it does not have the circular pattern in the PM/median area.

 
Classic Meganola pattern
Anne, after rotating the moth, the circular pattern is much easier to see. I agree with your ID.
