Dot-lined Wave Moth
This looks like Idaea tacturata (Hodges 7122). There is only one image in Bugguide (see thumb) but there are more in this link to MPG.

Thanks again
I appreciate the ID, it certainly matches. As a matter of fact I just finished photographing another one just a few moments ago. And it has a much better pose, wings are open more and the antennae are held outward. I'll post it separately.
