Geometridae - Hammaptera parinotata

Geometridae - Hammaptera parinotata
Katy, Harris County, Texas, USA
November 28, 2012
I've checked the living moths and the pinned ones in Geometrids and Noctuids at MPG but it must be hiding somewhere. Found at light. It would sometimes walk with its wings held upright like most of the butterflies. But Geometrids sometimes do this. Would appreciate help here, thanks.

These are common throughout the cooler months in south TX.
Seeing them in Medina county now also.
Thanks!
