Herpetogramma phaeopteralis
Unfortunately deleted the date on this spotting, so I'm not 100 percent sure of time except that it was 2018. Light gray, small grey winged moth with some darker markings and white abdomen. Underwing was whitish and lace-like.

sorry, cleaning out my camera. apologize for old specimens
Thank you Ornithoptera... Bayucca, It appears more zig-zaggy to me. It's hard to get some of these shots at night. I appreciate the help with ID though :)
I would agree with Herpetogramma sp., but I am not really sure about the species. Your picture is a little bit blurry and I cannot clearely see the markings on the forewing. At the apex is the dark line more straight as in Theusalis or more zig-zag like in Phaeopteralis?
