Grape Leaffolder?
Probably a Grape Leaffolder (1). Do you have a clearer shot of the head area, because a sizable white spot would indicate Desmia maculalis (2).

Desmia
I'd say you're correct Mike, this is Desmia funeralis. Even at that angle the white patch on maculalis would be prominent enough to be be seen just between and behind the scapes ... unless lighting is causing a real bad distortion ... which I don't think it is. I feel it's a funeralis.
