Crested Moth - Chrysodeixis includens

Came to my porch light. Sorry the light is poor, but it was just after sunrise and he was not positioned in the best way and I did not want to take the chance to try and move it. I checked the guide and found several owlet moths that looked sort of like it. The soybean moth was the best match.
