Not sure this is actually a moth.

I don't know but it had a caterpillar (or something similar) inside.

The protruding head looks like none of those published for named Psychidae species, like http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/psyc/psyc-cats.html Can you rear it to an adult? That will be much easier to ID.
