There similarities but I have my doubts given the speckled nature of the set specimens in stark contrast to this live specimen and all but one live specimen on the ALA and iNaturalist.

The Epiphyas caryotis ID is based on the suggestion for sighting 4431096 but maybe this moth is too uniform and smooth in colour.
