Worrying about the wiggly AM and PM lines and the pose lead me to investigate the Peros as well as which you have had before. No ID, just my thoughts on this difficult moth.

Moth ID
I DO ADMIRE THOSE HAVE THE ABILITY TO Identify Moths! It's way beyond my mentality.
I am still interested in ALL of HIS Creation. This one has more definitive details to enjoy.

Looking at those tips and the "wiggly" AM and PM made me look at the Peros, and then I remembered this VERY variable one that you have seen before, note the tips of the costa on this moth.
