Palpi not large enough for Syncometes vilis I suspect.

Looking closely at the palpi on the upper moth, they at first look quite thick like a male Blastobasis, but in fact only the more basal segment is thick and the upper segment is much thinner. That indicates Oecophoridae rather than Blastobasidae.
