Grapevine Looper
This is either Lesser Grapevine Looper (Eulithis diversilineata) or Greater Grapevine Looper (Eulithis gracilineata). The Peterson field guide says that Lesser often rests with the abdomen curled upwards, meanwhile picturing the Greater with it's abdomen curled... The field guide also says that Greater has double AM and PM lines, often filled with brown. This is present on my moth, so I would lean towards Greater.
However, I see that Bugguide says there is no reliable way to separate the two species without rearing or dissection.
