Crambid Moth - Lipocosma? - Erebid Moth - Eublemma minima

Crambid Moth - Lipocosma? - Erebid Moth - Eublemma minima
Tallahassee, Leon County, Florida, USA
September 22, 2016
Size: Length ≈8mm
On my white moth sheet at daytime. Very likely a Crambid Moth (I may be wrong) among which the best "neighborhood" appears to be Lipocosma, but the matches are not very good (Lipocosma septa?) and my moth does not rest with its forelegs stretched forward as is typical for Glaphyriinae (not all of them do, however). I could not detect any remarkable markings on the hindwing but it was quite worn once I got a look at one. I would be grateful for any suggestions regarding the ID..

Oh, so wrong!!
Thank you, Ann, for coming to my rescue. I did browse erebids but missed this obvious look-alike! I should have tried again after not finding a match among the Lipocosma.
