I couldn't say. You could look around that moth photographers site and see if it's there. The Tulip-tree Beauty is a possibility. I saw one this week but couldn't get a very good picture, even with the editing like Von did to his pics.

You can tell some moth's gender by looking at their wings but I can't think of too many. As a general rule, males have wider antennae, like feathers.

Here's a Tulip-tree Beauty, but they can look very different from this too. (It's at my work, the white stuff in the background is paint overspray on a sliding glass door. The painters work somewhere else now. LOL)
