Update: I submitted this photo to the Butterflies and Moths of North America website and they ID'd it as Diachrysia balluca (http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sight...). Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure I agree that it is C. argentifera, but it definitely seems to be a Chrysodeixis of some sort. (Maybe C. includens? See: http://bugguide.net/node/view/7595) Thank you so much for your help!
