I think this is a Pyralinae species but haven't matched it yet.

The general shape, particularly the unusual forewing costa matches Endotricha pyrosalis. Most specimens of this are quite reddish, but this one may be unusual or the brown is a figment of the photo lighting. The underlying forewing pattern also matches E. pyrosalis.
