It could be Idaea costaria

The clean pale forewing costa is good for Idaea.
The dotted rather than dashed margin looked more like Scopula though.
Is this variable?

Looking at it again, I think Don's suggestion was the best one.

AFD has no record for Scopula philocosma?

Yes, I got the genus name wrong - it's Idaea. I wasn't able to fix it last night and have emailed Michael.
