Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Trying to ID this Moth...Had no luck in Insect ID forum, 2 by nutsaboutnature

Hi,
This Moth flew into our house one evening, about a week ago. I took some pictures, then carefully released it outside.

I posted the pics in the Insect & Spider ID forum where I've always had great luck due to the super-helpful and knowledgeable people that frequent that forum. But I've never posted a Moth before.

So far, I haven't received any responses (it's been a week) which made me wonder if that might not be the best place. So, I thought I'd try here in the hopes a knowledgeable Moth person might be milling about.

I tried to remove some of the yellowing from the pic caused by incandescent lighting in the room, but there may still be a touch, possibly affecting the color of the Moth slightly.

Oh, one more thing...though I never measured it, I believe it was around 2" wide from wing-tip to wing-tip (+ or -).

Big Thanks in advance for any help.
