Renia discoloralis, the discolored renia, is a litter moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Achille Guenée in 1854. It is found in the United States from Missouri to southern New England, south to at least North Carolina and possibly Florida and Texas, but this might be an unnamed relative.
The wingspan is 35–45 mm. Adults are on wing from July to August. There is one generation per year. The larvae feed on detritus, including dead leaves. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Discolored Renia Moth is recorded against all the insects logged in Boston (7 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
