From its overall shape and palpi I think it's an Ardozyga sp (Gelechiidae) but there's not enough detail showing to say which one.

The moth was very small, flat, off white colour with brownish markings it seemed to jump rather than fly but then after a few jumps flew a short distance into the nearby leaf litter and never seen again.
