Euxesta spec.
No idea how many species you have in the US, I only know there are some 120 species described from the New World, with loads of undescribed species in the Neotropics.

I think it's around 31 species in North America north of Mexico. Thanks for the genus ID.

Euxesta / Acrosticta sp.
Actually, some species in S USA and Mesoamerica currently placed in Euxesta actually must be transferred to Acrosticta, and this is one of them. More detailed ID from the pic alone is hardly possible.
