Looks like it has curved horns; long straight slightly concave costa. Maybe Eulechria melesella; bit like Chezela privatella.

C. privatella seems plausible although I'm not sure i can clearly see the upturned sickl-shaped palps.

For some reason the system is not letting me suggest that species 2:23 pm 15/8/20. Had a similar problem recently with the Budawang Coast version.

Dots placement on forewings looks good for C. privatella. I think palps hardly visible as they appear foreshortened by dorsal view.
System will not not me suggest it either.

The bipectinate antennae and the long palpi with the long final segment set at an angle to the previous segment (visible in the underside photo) are consistent with c, privatella
