Geometridae, Ennominae, Angeronini, Xanthotype sp. Unfortunately there are more than one species and all look the same. I am not sure if you can ID yours from only the picture. Maybe the range might help. Somebody of the moth cracks should also take a look at this one! http://bugguide.net/node/view/252/bgpage
