Not sure the palpi look right for P.productella. the eyes are very large in size.

Does look similar to M. homosema but I'm not sure the head shape and posture matches; and on the ALA that moth has brown streaks on the white forewing. Antennae seem similar.

Set specimens of M. homosema are basically grey with fine longitudinal streaks and a pale yellow overlay in the centre of the forewing in many less worn specimens. The shape of this specimen is right for M. homosema, but I suspect it is too worn to allow us to consider the wing pattern adequately.
