The yellow 'topknot. strongly suggested to me Tineidae family, hence Edosa (genus). However the angle of the boundary between black and yellow and lack of definition within the outer hindwing black did not suggest to me E. xystidophora. Intriguingly there appaears to be fine black dot within the yellow area.

Black dot not visible on the left forewing. Just dirt?
