Underwing - Catocala vidua - Large moth found in Richmond, Virginia woodland habitat

(click on images to supersize)

Resting on a Holly Tree while.....

.....sipping moisture off the bark.

Warming on a chilly day.


Can't see me on this Oak Tree! Yeah right.


Stretching ;0)
Only an expert entomologist could properly identify this one but I believe I came close..... hope so anyway ;0) If not maybe someone will let me know?
Update: Thanks to this site http://www.silkmoths.bizland.com/catvidua.htm I have an identification based on these images...... Thanks Bill Oehlke for your generous help!
