No obvious labial palps: - maybe Tineidae, but I cannot find any fawn ones with a white head and forewing costal stripe.

The costal stripes are like many Philobota group Oecophoridae, and I think I can see recurved labial palpi in the main photo.

This photo matches an undescribed species like the coastal Philobota xiphostola. It differs from Philobota mathematica group sp in that it has a clear white band inside the dark band along the costa, and the remainder of the forewing is brown rather than white to cream. Some of the CNM records currently under Philobota mathematica group sp are probably this species.
