I'm thinking that this is an Owlet Moth, but which one?

It's either an owlet moth (family Noctuidae) or in the closely related family Erebidae. However, getting a specific i.d likely will require either a specialist in this group or someone with a lot of time on their hands, as there are a great many species that are superficially similar...

Thank you for your efforts. I realize some groups require dissection for positive ID. Thankfully there are groups like giant silk moths.
