Lepostales
I am sitting on the fence a bit about this one. Definitely Genus Leptostales. L. pannaria is the most common and I that is your species. The ones I see are always almost purple and I see them at a light. Notice the very light P. crossi on MPG. I have seen P. crossii, but mine was also very dark. The glare on your moth makes it very hard to see the markings especially along the costa where P. crossii has a pretty wide stripe of yellow in most photographs.

Thank you !!
I added a second image -- don't know if it will help but maybe the costa markings are clearer.

Could you try to play with your light settings and try to darken one of your photos. I think I am beginning to see a wider coloration on the costa. Still cannot do better with what you have posted. Sorry. No promises.
