Orange Mint Moth
I think this is 5058 – Pyrausta orphisalis. There are several similar moths nearby this one but I think the shape of the forewing PM line and the wide PM line on the hindwing rule out the others. I also took the liberty to crop and rotate your image to facilitate ID. Hope you don't mind.
