I-91 moth - Caenurgina erechtea

I-91 moth - Caenurgina erechtea
Northampton, Hampshire County, Massachusetts, USA
May 2, 2010
I was chasing butterflies around the rest area on the southbound side of I-91 when I photographed this moth on the lawn. Seems to have a classic Pyraloid snout, but cannot find a match for the paired black flecks near the wing apices...

Moved from Caenurgina.

Moved from Pyraloidea.

Caenurgina sp.
Yeah, it does have that Pyraloid look but it's actually in Noctuoidea. My guess would be Caenurgina erechtea.
