This appears to be a Sad Underwing (Catocala maestosa)? I don't see one in the BugFiles and if it is, I would like to add it. If not please let me know what it is and what it might feed on.

Catocala maestosa certainly is a strong possibility; they reportedly feed primarily on hickories, pecans and walnuts (family ) - see http://tinyurl.com/ljynjf for details.

Well there was a pecan close by, bet that is it. I believe I will raise it to make sure before I post the pics. Thanks for the ID, if it turns out differently I will open again and post another picture.
Thanks, Sheila
