8350 – Zanclognatha martha??
I think I am leaning toward Z. jacchusalis but I'm not sure if Z. martha is eliminated as a possibility.

 
Disregard Previous
I don't think Z. martha can have an st. line like this and the am. and pm. lines would be expanded at the costal margin.

Changes in Taxonomy
There has been a somewhat complicated revision involving Zanclognatha ochreipennis, Z. jacchusalis and Z. bryanti. A full explanation has been posted at this Species Page at Moth Photographers Group. Perhaps someone would like to make the comparable changes at BugGuide.

 
Updated
I made the changes to reflect the revision. If anyone wants to double-check to make sure I didn't miss or confuse anything, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

J.D.
Thanks again for all the moth id's. This was another new one for me that you helped with.

Yes
Zanclognatha ochreipennis would be my call.
