If I had to pick one......
If I had to pick one......even though disection is required for positive i.d. I would say that this most likely is that of geina bucksi. Rusty color, abdomen brown with white lateral lines on some segments and a broad white band at base at least according to the description in Peterson's Field Guide to Moths. This example matches it's photograph provided almost exactly. Page 127.

Thanks. I'm often happy just to get these insects identified down to genus, let alone species.
