Larry,
I believe your moth is X. packardata #7369. It is common right now at my
place in Watauga County, NC. X. labradorensis usually has a bright pink
band in the median area of the forewing and my experience is it flies
earlier in the summer. X. packardata has dull pink or more commonly no
color in the median area.
