No, not plume. It looks to me like something in the Tribe Spilomelini, or Tribe Nymphulini, I'm not sure...looks like some kind of Crambid Snout Moth though. http://bugguide.net/node/view/44071/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/44078/bgpage?from=0

I just looked the Plume Moth up. They seem to be much thinner/skinnier; and look like a "T". Not sure they fit my picture, Thanks.
