perhaps Purple False Foxglove (Agalinis purpurea)

2015-9-30 Bombay Hook NWR, DE
-upper two lobes a bit smaller and more open and have dense hairs in throat
"The flowers of A. purpurea have a longer tube and its upper lobes flare out, but easiest way to differentiate the two species is the length of the flower stalk, which is only ¼ inch long or less on A. purpurea." see:

Agalinis fasciculata - can't be this, A. fasciculata has leaves and fascicles, see:
