It's been discussed here before that there's probably no way to separate the 2 
species with photos. 

This has definitely been the year for out of season sightings. Submit it to 
BugGuide and see what they say.

Subject: [tn-moths] Clover Looper Moth?
 
I found this moth last Sunday while I was photographing a Common Gallinule
(bird) in Sevier County.  I think it may be a Hodges # 8738, Clover Looper
Moth, but I am not sure.  It could be a Forage Looper.  Either way, it is an
exceptionally early sighting (or exceptionally late, if that¹s an
overwintering adult). It was in Sevier County, on US 411 between Sevierville
and Chestnut Hill.  Comments will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
