The palpi are held much more in line with the top of the moth than in set specimens, and the palpi scales are more expanded vertically, but both these things may simply reflect the posture of a fresh live moth.

I got this one wrong, it's Culladia cunifeiferellus, a different Crambinae

Thanks. I was a little surprised that a species that fed on bulrushes would be at this site - the closest I could think of are some distance away.
