Looks similar to Porcelain Gray - Hodges #6598, just different.

Moved from Geometrid Moths.

While the Umber is the only large "gray," save Tuplip Tree Beauty, I had dismissed because it seemed to lack the distiinctive hollow spots. However, they are there, just "muddy." Also, this Umber is a month early, probably due to unseasonably warm winter.

Probably a heavily marked 6439 - Hypomecis umbrosaria
Neat antennae.
