I Think This Is....

... 5275 - Bold-feathered Grass Moth - Herpetogramma pertextalis. But the "feathering pattern" of 4947 - Smartweed Borer Moth - Ostrinia obumbratalis is quite similar. Based on just a few photos of each species at MPG (if they are all correctly identified), I think your photo compares better with 5275. I'll ask Brian Scholtens to look at all the photos and give us his opinion. It make take a while.
