help id a butterfly or moth

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

I dont have a photo but the butterfly had the coloring similar to a question mark on top but ventrally appeared to be a tan dried leaf. it was about the size of a Monarch. Can someone point me in a direction to look?

How about a Goatweed Leafwing (Anaea andria)?

It had black hind wings like the question mark. I also thought the hind wings looked rather square. I now think now that what I thought was square, was created by the points on the hind wings. I now believe it really was a question mark as some of the images do show the ventral side looking like a leaf. Thanks so much.
