Ken, Thanks for your reply. I tend to agree, but it's still closer than anything else I've been able to come up with. I have a feeling somebody is going to tell us what it really is.

The closest I can come up with is a female European Corn Borer - Hodges#4949 (Ostrinia nubilalis); Crambid Snout Moths (Crambidae) » Pyraustinae » Pyraustini » Ostrinia ». It came to my porch light in Johnson City, TN (Washington County) on 7-27-09. This lead me to question my previous I.D. of 4949 in my Flickr moth photo collection http://www.flickr.com/photos/27634081@N06/4006501670/in/set-72157608707935389/.
