Probably 9016 - Cobubatha antonita
... sorry I didn't look earlier at the western plates at MPG to see what else was out there. The pattern shown by your moth looks very much like 9016, but I can't find a reference closer than southeastern Arizona (many of the same moths do show up in the Rio Grande valley).

Cobubatha, Possibly 9014 - Cobubatha lixiva
... there are sexually dimorphic variations, and we still lack examples for some members of the genus. Jim Vargo's photos of 9014 are shown here.
