Good idea! After screening all kind of moths on bugguide I finally was desperate since I did not find any close match, but I certainly have missed one. For checking a tough one my iPad is probably not really the best device...
Geometridae, Larentiinae, that's I am sure about. I checked several families and hundreds of picture, no reasonable match, looking carefully at the shape if the middle band with these 2 curves, the upper dark band. Tons of similar ones but you can kick off quite a lot and at the end you have an empty screen. Finally I found a perfect match with almost all criteria, but I am not yet 100% convinced and happy, but it is my very best and good night guess:
Carsia sororiata. Look carefully at each marking and pattern and ignore the contrast and colors (and some tiny details ;-)...). Tough one!! I am wondering what you think about it!
