I'm pretty sure it's a Metaxaglaea sp., but I can't figure out which one...any ideas?

My guess is
Metaxaglaea viatica, (I think I had one last night at lights in N. Georgia)

A better match?
I saw this today at Moth Photographer's Group, and thought it looked a lot like your moth. I don't believe there is one on BG yet. Since I'm far from an expert, you may want to look at Hodges #9945 – Metaxaglaea semitaria – Footpath Sallow Moth at MPG.

Very Possible...
This genus looks the same to me, so I'm no help. I'll move it back to genus for the moment.
