Good one.
I think you may have 10603.1 – Hexorthodes citeria here. My reservations are that I haven't found any living photos of citeria and your moth doesn't have a distinct antemedial line like the pinned photo at MPG. Also, the Jim Vargo pinned photo for Hexorthodes accurata is very similar, although the living moths are all much browner. The original description of "pale orange" ground color for criteria seems a better fit to me. We need another opinion though.

 
Did you see
the other one from last week? I just moved it to the same genus page. Both are from lower elevation than Melton's on BG

 
Great
I meant to check your older moths but neglected to. Need to get Maury's opinion now.
