This was originally identified as Mimaglossa nauplialis, but I think it's another Epipaschiinae.

The long scale extensions to the base of the antennae best visible in photo 2, the bulge on the costa, and the shape of the transverse lines on the forewing suggest one of the undescribed Araeopaschia species, but I can't find one that it matches.
