Coelidiinae? Looks similar to like my Coelidia olitoria floridana but not really. Please advise.

Agallia barretti
Much wider between the eyes than Coelidia. It's hard to see from this angle, but the head is actually quite short on top.

 
Agallia deleta
Sorry, I just found out that this eastern species is differentiated from the western A. barretti only by being "yellowish brown" rather than "reddish brown" and somewhat smaller. Your photo looks reddish to me, but the distribution is screwy. It makes better sense than expecting a Mexican-Arizona species in the southeastern states!

 
Very Short
I added a better angle to show how short the head is.
