I think this is a fairly worn Umber Moth.

Hi, all!  I left the blacklight on here at the park last night and had quite an 
assortment this morning!  Most were common species that I see all the time (ie: 
Rosy Maple, Eastern Tent Caterpillar, Dimorphic Tosale . . . etc. . .etc . . .) 
 I did have this one, though, that seems unfamiliar to me.  I think it is #7139 
- Cyclophora pendulinaria - Sweetfern Geometer; however the forewing shape 
doesn't seem angled quite enough---so I would love to have your opinions!  
Thanks!
