My guess
Might be Caripeta angustiorata - Brown Pine Looper - Hodges#6867 or something nearby. Not sure which is in your area.

Caripeta aretaria
Looks right to me also. The Henderson State link and this BugGuide post from Oklahoma confirm range. Thanks to both for your help with this ID.

Agreed
Caripeta aretaria looks a better fit and was my initial hunch. The range info on BG (Fla to NY) made me look for other possibilities.

What about - Caripeta aretaria #6869?
Based on range (1) and AM line shape.
