Hello all,
Here are 2 pictures of a little moth photographied on the wall of my house at Sherbrooke, Quebec (near Vermont USA) last September 2008. It looks like he has a golden sheet over its body 
I think it is a Noctuidae from the genus Papaipema but I'm not sure...
Any idea about its identification?
Thank you very much for your help

That is Papaipema cataphracta. You were quite close.
