Scooped this moth out of the river & don't know his name. I looked up a few but the pattern on the wings didn't match

it is Psychomorpha epimenis. The larvae feed on wild grape and related plants. Range roughly Massachusetts to Florida, adults fly March-May. Hind wings have a large bright red spot, which you can just see the very edge of in one of your photographs.
