This moth displays features which suggest Scieropepla polyxesta, but I'm not convincedits that species given the lack of a black 'face' and the striations that are visible on the antennae,

The shape of the head is wrong for Scieropepla polyxesta. Also no black on face through eye. Above moth has quite a yellow hue, while Scieropepla polyxesta is white. Despite a fair bit of looking now, and previously I've not found an ID to suggest.
