About 10 mm. Not completely sure about the ID, but looks like a concealer moth to me after browsing CNM. Active during the day.

At BOLD's page on Philobota chrysopotama :
http://v4.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=89531
the specimens are pale yellow with a few dark spots,
and not particularly like this photo?
Is there a melanic form ?
