This moth looks quite similar to Ken Harris' posting of the species on the ALA and LBH, but dissimilar rto the other postings of this species on the ALA which have much longer antennaa and lighter colouration.

I think the apparent length of antennae are badly affected in these photos by perspective distortion, and the apparent brightness by the angles of incident lighting.
