This moth is the same as two other moths identified as Aeolostoma scutiferana but I don't think it's the right identification. I have not found anything to match.

Yes, I think it and the others are likely Acroceuthes metaxanthana (Dog-faced Bell Moth). Apparently sexually dimorphic, See Bron's photo CNM Sighting No. 4373806.
