I don't think it's Herpetogramma
See link to
Pleuroptya silicalis

Thanks Guys!
We're all moved in over at our new place. So for a brief while this fella will enjoy the status of being the first record for Alabama in this species. But that won't last long once Bob moves some of his friends over here.
I did read in INFO where another one in this genus "Pleuroptya fluctuosalis (Lederer, 1863) is treated as a synonym of Herpetogramma fluctuosis" Hodges #5244. So looks like this one is somewhat similar, if not closely related to the other Herpetogramma?
Thanks again for the help from you both - I'm learning a lot!

There can be only one First
Jon,
Even if I move any to here, your first will stand, as it was the first to be ID'd. For example, this
Kyoto Moth
is a first for Alabama (and Bug Guide), even though I posted a
Kyoto
two years earlier. Why? Because any subsequent ID's, regardless of when posted, are based on the first.
