Leucania amygdalina?
Leucania amygdalina was raised from synonymy of L. linita in Lafontaine & Schmidt (2015) and it I understand correctly, it replaces linita north of Maryland. I'm guessing this would still be L. linita but was wondering if the two can be separated by photos.

possibly Lithophane fagina - Hoary Pinion
Another possibility is a Lithophane fagina - Hoary Pinion based on shape, streakiness and light area along costa.
