Bell shaped? Tortrid?

Not bell-shaped in the sense of having a flare at the end of the wing, I agree after another CNM browse that Tortrid moths are closest. From the shape and pattern of the wings I first thought maybe Agriophara, but they don't seem to have such a pronounced "snout" as far as I can see. Lesson for me: always include one picture showing the moth from straight above.

Yes, but I've yet to find a match.

Could it be a battered Microdes (Geometridae)?

I agree: the pattern of fine dark lines, though fragmented in this specimen, is more consistent with it being a geometrid.
