Perhaps Calaomotropha species? e.g. C. delatilis.

I cannot find Calaomotropha or delatilis in the Checklist nor in BOLD..

If the palpi are showing correctly (not hidden or knocked off), it's a Galleriinae rather than a Crambinae.

Sorry, mispelt: Calamotropha genus.

The palpi look OK to me for say Calamotropha dielota (Crambinae), but too long for say Corcyra cephalonica (Galleriinae).
