Gorgeous. According to the site above, one of the few species of Eutelia in Europe.
This is the best match I could find. Leptostales ferruminaria appears to be quite variable.
The ones I see in NY are a little darker but I think this falls within the range of variability for this species.
I'm fairly certain of the ID, but another similar species is Canopies reticulatana.
A much lighter individual but I'd still call this Hypena deceptalis.
Anisota typically only one white spot on each forewing.
The hindwings of Prochoerodes lineola are much less rounded.
Funny–I went to open a new tab to search for the tribe Phaegopterina and a moth from this group appears on my PN home page! Great find, as always, Sergio!
Bosiea rubrolineata has more red venation than B. trivitatta:

Genus Scudderia—I don't think you can identify to species from the nymphs.
