The short wings/pattern narrow it down to the Canicularis group.
And the costal margin of the wing doesn’t appear to be strongly bent. The 3 species in the “canicularis” group are davisi, canicularis, and auriferus. Auriferus is a Great Plains species and Canicularis is a northern species that can make it south to northern Virginia. If you are in southern VA That means that this is N. davisi

The color looks skewed and specimen looks greasy
Because of the size/overall appearance I’d say that this is davisi. I’d like a better close up image though
