I think it's a worn Garrha, probably one of the regulars, but you can't see enough details to be sure

I see two pairs of faint dots close together posterially on the forewing as in C. privatella and also the crescent pattern of four faint dots (2 on each forewing anterior to the forementioned) also as in C. privatella.

I believe that this is a worn Garrha sp. (e.g. G. repandula) The all over pink tinge, pink palps and pink wing edges as seen in the profile shot place it there. Chezala privatella is a grey/fawn moth with no pink tinge. It also sits flatter at rest, Garrha tend to be more domed.
