Failed camouflage

unidentified mothI came across this moth in the parking garage of a local hospital.

It looked very much like a dead leaf, but its appearance was not very effective camouflage against a white wall.

Could anybody tell me what kind of moth this is?

Thanks, Rob! Yes, the second one looks very similar.

Paonias excaecatus it is.
