Moved from Erebidae.

Tentative ID. This looks more like C. togataria but would be very out of range.

Possible Caenurgia chloropha
Pretty sure it's that species. They are quite variable.

Thanks John, yes Vetch Looper
Thanks John, yes Vetch Looper would've been my closest guess too. They are very variable in color and pattern. Thanks for your input. :)
