This isn't Barea melanodelta. The dark mark sitting on the middle of the inner margin of the forewing in that species is triangular with a distinct apex pointing towards the costa, and there isn't an extension of it towards the apex. Also, B. melanodelta doesn't have a black head contrasting with a lighter thorax, and its male antennae have only very short and fine cilia whereas in this photo the antennae seem to be bipectinate. The moth appears "flat" in structure. I'm wondering if it is a Gelechiidae, but am uncertain about the antennae.
