Plants & places
Filename locality: Henderson County. Woodland association is plausible but the host plant is not recorded.
A sensible first response
Keep this as an open identification. A naturally obtained dorsal photograph would reveal more diagnostic wing markings.
When to look
Filename date: August 22. Species-specific season remains unknown.
Identification
IMG_0076 shows long gray-brown folded wings, a pale furry thorax and head, a dark mark toward the outer wing and pale terminal shading. The stance is consistent with a prominent-moth candidate.
Lookalikes & limits
Only an oblique side view is available. Several prominent moth genera have similar bark-like resting forms; family placement and exact species should be reviewed by a specialist.
In the garden
Likely a tree-associated moth; no particular host or pest role is assigned.
