The Wedgling? - Galgula partita

The Wedgling? - Galgula partita
Pickens County, Georgia, USA
November 3, 2008
Size: est. length 10 mm.
Found at porch light.
Spent way too much time online trying to ID this moth, and in all the wrong places.
I finally stumbled across an image of Galgula partita while trying to ID another specimen.
The wing shine caused by the flash was pretty bad; the natural color of this individual was a flat medium brown. The silvery fringe of the forewing was apparent to the naked eye.
I'm very much an amateur, so any comments/opinions/corrections certainly welcome.
Based on color and the dark spotted ST line, I'm guessing this is a male.
