“Forage Looper Moth”

Another new-to-me moth.
Spotted on campus.
Taken with my new macro lens. :)
But not much info on this one; see (for example) http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Caenurgina-erechtea

Confirmed at BAMONA as Caenurgina erechtea or “Forage Looper Moth”; http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/sighting_details/918128

With thanks to Ross Hill for the initial ID at BugGuide.net, http://bugguide.net/node/view/829563

Cool shot. It is hard to make these "smallish, plain, brownish moths" look good, but you did in this one.
