Hi Harry,
It appears to be the 'dark' morph of the Major Sallow Moth, Feralia major.
This dark form usually lacks any green coloring.
See picture by Larry Line in Bob Patterson's ID'd Moths.
Hope this helps,
Lance

This moth came to the back side of my sheet last night. I have provided two
photos woth one having more loght added for detail. I am thinking Noctuidae,
but I am not sure of the ID. It somewhat resembles Ulolonche niveiguttata,
10575, but I have no record of that moth in NC. It also somewhat resembles
Feralia major (Major Sallow), 10007 but it is not green enough. I hope someone
will recognize the moth.
