This is a Clymene moth (Haploa clymene), seen on 8/2/2014 in Wentworth NH. I first spotted it high on the bathroom wall (first picture); I tried to move it within reach, and lost it for a while, before finding it again on the wood chips outside the bathroom. It was skittish and flew briskly away; I got a glimpse of striking yellow hindwings, in flight.
