Late Date
I don't know how to ID these but the info page says that this does not fly in the fall. The USGS site says here that it flies in the spring and suggests 6694 - Apodrepanulatrix litaria is similar and flies in the fall.

Edit - 6692 Drepanulatrix monicaria looks similar and has a spring to fall flight period.
