It's hard to be 100% sure from this shot but this probably is 7686 Phyllodesma 
occidentis. The other option is 7687 Phyllodesma americana.

I believe I have the right photo attached this time.  This is the moth I 
photographed about 3 weeks ago and was having difficulty identifying it, but 
after Ken Childs posted a photograph iof a similar moth, I believe this to be 
"phyllodesma occidentis", "the Southern Lappet Moth".
