Arkansas Clearwing Moth (Synanthedon arkansasensis)? - Synanthedon arkansasensis

Arkansas Clearwing Moth (Synanthedon arkansasensis)? - Synanthedon arkansasensis
California/Home, St. Mary's County, Maryland, USA
August 13, 2017
This Synanthedon came to the porch light last night. I can't figure out if it's an Arkansas Clearwing Moth (Synanthedon arkansasensis) or a Dogwood Borer Moth (Synanthedon scitula). I'm leaning toward the former based on a BugGuide comment about how they're unlike the rest of the Sesiidae and that they will come to lights.
