Moved from ID Request.

This is a southern Texas species and nearly identical to the more widespread Mesquite Looper Moth, Rindgea cyda.

ID of this Moth…
Hmmm…
For starters, take a peek at…
"Somber Carpet Moth"
(Disclisioprocta stellata)… https://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Disclisioprocta-stellata
Texas & Pennsylvania have subtle differences like "Sweet Potato Moth" & "Fall Armyworm"...

 
For future reference ...
This is what a Somber Carpet looks like


 
This is in Macariini
