Always best to get a lateral view of this guy. Really helps ID.

You are probably correct that
You are probably correct that this moth is Meganola phylla. M. minuscula, the main one it could be confused with, generally has a darker median band extending from the dark triangles along the costa that phylla lacks.

In either case this is a very late sighting for these species.
