Pyralid Moth
The lines are located closer to the base of the wings than the others and the very-hairy legs seem out of place in this species. By the way, though it is pale colored, this moth does not look very worn, at all.
Here's another one with similar qualities: These might both be Basacallis tarachodes. (south-eastern) Please check this out and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Guide pages
I've created a "see also" section for the guide pages of all of these species. Let me know if you see any issues with them.

I agree
This comment also led me to take a look through the Arta olivalis images in the guide, and I found six Condylolomia participalis among them, including our only olivalis images in the guide from Ohio, Wisconsin, and Missouri. (Our northernmost images are now from NJ, s. IL, and OK.)
