Thanks Jason
I have posted another photo of a similar moth from last night. Does it look to be the same as the other to you?

Phaeoura quernaria
The pectinate ("feathery") antennae rule out Zale spp. This is a very variable moth, ranging from jet black to brown to mostly white with black peppering.
