It is not
Dictya, which is in a group with long pedicel.
It could be Lauxaniidae. Steve Gaimari is the expert on American Lauxaniidae.

Thank-you gentlemen! I was misled by the overall look of the spots on the wings, which reminded me of Sciomyid species like Euthycera arcuata. I'm glad to get this into the right family--and genus too.
