Your ID looks spot on, by the way!
@ForestDragon Thank you!
Compare to Parapediasia teterrellus. http://bugguide.net/node/view/69913
With these moths, it can be helpful to get full side views of the wings, or at least have more than one angle. Some of these guys can have small markings that are different and can help distinguish from each other. :-)
