Thanks Jackie and Hugh!
Hugh, was your response meant for all 4 photographs or just the last one?
The ST line on the moth in IMG_7861 is very wavy which is something not
seen in any of the photos of Gueneria similaria or Cabera erythemaria on MPG or
BG.
Maybe some more information will help pick the most likely ID. Does anyone know
the flight season or size range for Gueneria similaria? The moth in IMG_7861
was photographed on 8/22 and had a wingspan of 18 mm which puts it under the
21-28mm range given for Cabera erythemaria. The first 3 were seen at the
beginning of June.

I think the choice here is between Cabera erythemaria and Gueneria similaria
(as in similar to Cabera). I find these very difficult to separate even in the
hand, so I'm not sure there are any good characters for photos. For years I
thought I had Cabera here on Long Island, and now I think that everything I
have seen and taken is Gueneria. Let me know if anyone knows a good way to
separate these two.

All look fairly worn but I'm hoping enough is left for at least a possible ID.
The first 3 may be the same species. #4 looks to be something different.
