Herpetogramma and it looks like .....
Herpetogramma pertextalis - Bold-feathered Grass Moth 5275 - or Herpetogramma thestealis - Zigzag Herpetogramma Moth 5277. It seems both might be present here with DNA identification of H. thestealis in 2009 for sure.

Additional information:
When you said "Bold-feathered Grass Moth", I realized I posted an image of one yesterday . After looking through the guide, though strikingly similar to H. thestealis, I believe this specimen looks more like Herpetogramma pertextalis
