Moth ID? - Idaea dimidiata

Moth ID? - Idaea dimidiata
Oradell, Bergen County, New Jersey, USA
July 4, 2012
Came to porch light, but very briefly. I was able to get only one shot before it took off.
I have looked through the field guide and everything online, but still can't find an ID for it. It was in the size range for a Minor Angle moth.

It is an
Idaea dimidiata - Single Dotted Wave.

If not, definitely still in the Idaea genus.

 
Yes and thank you.
Now I see the resemblance to the pic in my field guide. I'm rather new to moths and still adjusting to when the angles/views do not line up with the guide.
