Allan,
After a bit of research online (and a bit of help) I believe that moth is
Heliomata cycladata or Common Spring Moth. The map I found shows it in
eastern Missouri and southeastern Iowa. This map does not show it in
Tennessee, but that doesn't mean too much I suppose. Very little else is
known about it accoding to this site:

Good find!
