Good point! The matching hind
Good point! The matching hindwings made me look at geometrids. I wonder if your moth is a Black-dotted Ruddy. They're quite variable and your images show a small dark forewing discal spot and the line pattern seems to match.

Jim, Thank you for the help!
Jim, Thank you for the help! The hindwing on the requested ID photo is color matching. The Perigea xanthioides is not. I am hoping to come up with something, but am at a loss for the moment.
