Thanks, Jason.

Genus Acronicta?
To me it looks like Genus Acronicta (Dagger Moths) but I don't find an easy match so I could be off.

 
Thanks, Randy.
I was looking at Oligia and thought maybe something like this, but they've only been reported from the west coast.

 
You could be on to something
Looks right to me - Has the dark wavy band before the outer margin that I couldn't find in Dagger Moths - but maybe not in your area. If it was easy we'd all be experts, and bored :) Good luck.
