I thought the hind edge of the white section behind the head might help me find an id, but so far no luck

I am pretty sure that it is a group that are under-studied. Doubt I will get an id from iNat as there are very few identifications of moths being done there lately.

Sighting 4425634 seems to be similar. Perhaps also 4368816, but the patch behind the head is more yellowish.

I would say 4425634 is the same. 4368816 is different the patch behind the head is a different colour and shape and doesn't have the scalloped edge and the white shots further along are smaller but in the same part of the wing.
