Looper Moth ? (emerging)

Description:

Looks like a looper moth; it is still emerging so I did not disturb it much. I have seen this caterpillar before but never the adult. Can anyone help with the ID of a moth born during moth week in my garden?

Habitat:

This moth spent its caterpillar-hood feeding on my garden plant (stayed on one individual plant throughout). It spun its cocoon right there...and was emerging from the cocoon today when I took these photographs.

Notes:
