I'm no expert but...
I'm no expert but after looking at this photo long enough, I think this is a slightly washed out pale beauty (campaea perlata). The hind wings appear to have nodes on the outer margin and if you look real carefully you'll see a white pm line with some even more faint am lines which according to my source says it's usually a white-edged green am and pm lines but possibly washed out by the light that it was attracted to.
