My guess is S.fuscipennis. Could you check is there black hairs in area marked green (under posterior spiracle)?

Hi Nikita: Thanks for your interest. Looked at the area under 50x mag., no hairs at all there.

To tell you truth, I'm not very much disappointed - the absence of this hairs is just a character of Sepedon fuscipennis:D

Thanks Nikita, apparently a common species in eastern NA.
