5890 – Adelphia petrella ? - Adelphia petrella Schulenburg, Texas, Fayette County, Texas, USA June 21, 2018 Size: apx. 10mm WL
Markings do not all jive, but this was the only species I could find with fully tuffted, recurved palps that should be in this area and had a rather undefined AM band. Look seems to change with the light. Wingspan may also be a little small and the hind wings look a little dark for it.
I also considered 5820 – Stylopalpia scobiella but it does not appear to have an AM band.
