User's notes

I apologise for the very bad photo but I only got the one and I have never seen this moth before so I'm posting it just in case it is something interesting.

Nearest I could find are some Plutellidae, like Orthenches pleurosticta, Sarotorna mesoleuca, Gelechiidae, and Phricanthes asperana, Tortricidae

It's a Phycitinae, genus Assara or nearby

Not Assara holophragma? I suggest it may be a closer mtach.

Some photos of Assara subarcuella on ALA look very much like this one.

It's Assara subarcuella. INAT has both and makes the difference clear.
