Reddish Moth - Aglossa disciferalis

Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
August 24, 2008
Size: 11.5mm

Near my patio lights at night. Looks similar to the Red-shawled Moth, but I don't see any photos of that one with the mid-wing chevrons this one shows.

Kind of?

But it doesn't quite match those markings, either...
