I'm not so sure anymore about the Clay Triple Lines Moth. Sorry! Cyclophora is a European species, so unless it was captive, that would be fairly incredible. I believe they are the same species, just yours may be more weathered, and towards its demise.

Thank you, JGorneau. I forgot to update its ID. Do you think these moths can show such a difference in colors?
Jacob Gorneau
I believe you and reubens may have the same moth: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/10059468

Cyclophora is a European moth. To my shame I can't even tell you from which family this one is. At first sight it looks like a Geometridae moth. But I have some little thoughts about a surprise...
Jacob Gorneau
Ok. I think it is the Clay Triple Lines Moth because I can make out three faint lines. Hope the ID helps.

Jgorneau, it wasn't more than 4 cm wide (wingtip to wingtip)
