Thanks Forest Dragon. Maybe Drab Prominent (Misogada unicolor) I sent this in to an expert. Thanks again! This is a difficult one.
I'm leaning towards a Saddled Prominent - Heterocampa guttivitta

I have one in my spottings but it doesn't look quite the same (they have a bit of variation in color and patterning and fluffiness).
Here's mine:

This looks like a species of Prominent Moth.
