Scopula limboundata - Large Lace-border - Hodges #7159
Nice photo!
The discal dots are present in this individual, but very faint. Also notice the shape of the medial and postmedial lines as they approach the costa.
Scopula inductata has rounded hindwings and S. junctaria has no discal dots

Yes, thanks,
Doug, that looks close. Perhaps S. junctaria? I'm still not sure.
