Acronicta perdita I suspect. Or did Kyhl Austin already figured this out?

Yes
That’s where he placed it. I figured it was an
Acronicta
, but I wasn’t sure which. Kyhl moved it the the species page. Look at the info tab above the image to get there.

that looked similar to this one and while in the midst of writing that I notice Kyhl had moved it there.

Thanks for checking Bill
I see what you mean. Problem is, this moth has white underwings while Biston betularia has mottled black and gray underwings.

Yes!
I was looking thru Catacola with peppered appearance like we do see! Thanks!
But look at this similar in the Lycia family…

This is not a geometrid
And your second guess looks just as wrong as your first. Also,
Lycia
is a genus, not a family. It’s not a
Catocala
either.
