It's been a while since I took this photo so I don't quite rember the size of this moth but I think it was about 1cm. I think that I can see one short upturned palp in the second photo. I can't find a match but I'm probably looking in the wrong place.

Atalaopsis (genus)?

Good suggestion Ian. Very likely Atalopsis heniocha but I'm not sure.

None of the 10 Atalopsis sp. in BOLD have the extension of the forewing submargnal arc of dots extending to the hindmargin.
