Hello,
Here is a little butterfly photographied in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada (near Vermont/Maine) last April 26th.
Is it possible to identify the family/genum/species???
Thank you once again for your precious help!

Hello Michel,
That is a moth possibly in the Noctuidae genus.
Maybe Lele on the Moth/Butterfly forum can figure it out...

Hello Lizardman,
Thank you for your great help...
Sorry for the misuse of the term butterfly, here...
In french, we use "papillon" for both kind of insects...
I think I found the species of this moth...
It is a Noctuidae: Copivaleria grotei...
The pattern is identical...
Do you agree with my guess?
Thank you once again for your help,
Michel

Hello Michel.
The genus is correct, but I'm questionable about the species. The pictures that I've seen have different patterns than your moth. A confirmation would probably have to be made by antennae structure.
