It does not quite fit Isochorista pumicosa. It was much larger and a different shape.

Thrincophora impletana was my first thought too but it seemed different mainly because of the shape. It had much broader shoulders (not quite moth speak, I know) than the Thrincophora impletana that was sitting just next to it. It could have just had its wings resting in a strange position...

There is a similar moth identified as Acropolitis excelsa - sighting 4379880. Hmmm...
