Eugonobapta nivosaria
Looked like a dusting of snow had fallen on its wings. Poor moth was quite injured! Not sure what the poor thing could have been attacked by!

Thanks, Mayra!
Wow! Beautiful capture!
Thanks, ForestDragon! I thought the WSM was the only pure white moth. Little did I know! Thanks, you are absolutely right. I knew it couldn't be WSM, but that was the closest description! Thanks again!
More likely a Snowy Geometer - Eugonobapta nivosaria:

Note the shape of the hindwings. White Spring Moths are more rounded.
