The moth is very worn, so its difficult to be sure about the forewing pattern as to the species. Going by the hindwing shape alone it could be C. filata, but the C. catastrephes female also has a similar shaped hindwing margin. I don't really see much hint of the characteristic forewing pattern I would expect for C. filata so I think Chloroclystis (genus) is the best I can do.
