Thank You
I think iNaturalist must also have a # misidentified moths as well.
Thank You @Jack Senzig & @Steve Morris!

It looks like Alpheias vicari
It looks like Alpheias vicarilis to me but I'm not familiar with these. It looks like a lot of moths were misidentified as A transferens here and on MPG so if you are wrong you are in good company. Wait for an expert opinion.
