Rust/orange moth with rectangular spots - Choephora fungorum

Rust/orange moth with rectangular spots - Choephora fungorum
Maplesville, Chilton County, Alabama, USA
October 19, 2017
This orange and rusty colored moth had spots I'm not sure how to classify. They weren't claviform, orbicular or reniform. They were more rectangular and to me looked like black top hats on their sides with a smudge of dark maroon under the rims. He had a broad swatch of maroon/purple fur that extended from his head and neck and tapered to the AM line. The median line(?) was an indistinct smudge of dark maroon. The PM line was straight across 80% his wings and curved sharply back toward the head near the margins. Under this was a broad vague dark maroon band. The outer margin was lined with dark maroon and lightly scalloped.
