Another question comes to mind: I wonder if this is perhaps
Fernaldella stalachtaria, but I can't tell for sure without seeing more of the under front wing (the part hidden by the hind wing) or of the top side. It looks more like that species to me than any of the other images posted on BugGuide (including those posted to date under Fernaldella stalachtaria!). See the pinned specimens on Moth Photographer's Group.

Cropping
This is a fine image but it would show a lot better if it was cropped more tightly. Remember that only you and the editors can see the full size image. I guess that you are fairly new, then, welcome to the guide.
There is a lot to learn, don't you think?

Synonyms?
What is the difference between Narraga fimetaria and Fernaldella fimetaria?

yes
yes, sorry for the confusion. Fernaldella is the current name I believe.
Moth Photographers Group is usually up to date.
