Size: ca. 18.75 mm / 0.75"
I have another photo of a moth like this on Bug Guide but its collar is yellow. Is this the same species of moth just an orange collared variation?

Hmm.
I think it's definately Cisseps fulvicollis. It's got a lot more orange upon it's head, and not so much iridescence on it's thorax. I would even suggest it's a male, due to the more feathery antennae.

Scape moth
Is what it looks like to me. Why it's called "yellow", I'm not sure. All the shots I have of this insect have orange. There are two other species that look similar. The Grapeleaf Skeletonizer but I believe that is fuzzier on the abdomen, and Ctenucha Virginica, which seems to be a more robust insect. But, I'm by no means an expert on moths.
