I haven't noticed bayberry in my local area but I have seen it it other parts
of the county so we do have it here.
I agree it doesn't look like an exact fit but maybe it's something close.

Ken,
I agree it is not Epinotia lindana--the angles of the white patches aren't
sharp enough. One possibility might be 2907
Strepsicrates smithiana – Bayberry Leaftier Moth. Doesn't quite fit this one
either and you can rule it out alltogether if you don't have bayberry (Myrica
spp.).
