Not sure if I can see upwardly backward curving palpi, but looks a bit like Plectobela ecliptica although there is perhaps less dark collar evident, see ALA.

I cannot see any upturned labial palps indicating Gelechioidea, nor long scales on the head indicating Tineidae.

I've added another photo where the upturned palpi are more visible (I think).

Good photo. Good match to Plectobela ecliptica. Sadly I cannot add it to CNM.
