Attracted to porch light. The pattern and shading seem distinctive, but ID'ing has been difficult. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pococera
Moved from ID Request.

possibly Pococera robustella - Pine Webworm - Hodges #5595, with all the pines in Houston. These can be a difficult group from photos.
Thanks

It looks like #5863.1
Maury - I think I've finally made a positive ID match. Instead of Pococera sp., it looks like 5863.1 Dioryctria clarioralis (Blister Coneworm Moth)
