Scraped Pilocrocis? - Pilocrocis ramentalis
Reston, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
October 3, 2016
Size: wingspan about 30mm
observed near porch light 7:45 a.m. I believe this is an example of Pilocrocis ramentalis based on BG image comparison and size, and it has been noted in MD and NC, so range fits too. However, as this would add an observation for Virginia, confirmation/correction would be appreciated.

Yes
No expert but I've had a fair number of them. Size is perfect as well.
Congrats on a new sighting for VA.
