Brian, turns out you were right after all! After looking at my photo again they moved it to Carolina Satyr
Machi
I looked at bugguide when you suggested Carolina Satyr and I thought you were right too because there were so few Intricate Satyr photos

Amazing similarity - I'm glad you got the right ID.

Thanks for the ID Brian! I submitted to bugguide and they gave me this ID. This species is very difficult to recognize according to them.
