Not a very good shot. Taken just before midnight in dark area outside lighted area on front porch. It sure looks like 3756.1 MPG http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/fast.php?plate=10&sort=h
Could it be something else?

Good Research
If this isn't an Aethes floccosana, it should be. I cropped your image for you, for better ID. Looks like you well have a new taxa for Bug Guide.
