I am guessing this is a moth, but not sure. Very slender, with wings always extended. Had to rotate one image because wide images are automatically clipped. Originals are much larger.

After donhe's first suggestion where to look, also very similar to a few images classified as Megalorhipida Leucodactylus on ALA.
