Hi Ian, It looks very similar to Culladia cuneiferellus (A crambid moth) on 10 Mar 2019 Could this one have been misidentified?

Yes, it could. I've thrown it open for review.

Culladia cuneiferellus has a submarginal arc of dark dots unlike 4251650,
whereas Faveria tritalis has the arc of dark dots around the actual margin, like 4251650.
