Hi Ian, I so wish I could agree with you (I like finding new species for CNM) but I dont think the shape is quite right for an Ardozyga, the white spots are smaller and it does not have strongly striped legs. You can see the legs clearly at https://www.inaturalist.org/photos/3070876?size=original. It is the same photo that you refer to, just on a different site. To me it looks more like a Blastobasis moth but it does not match anything. You may still be right but i'm just not convinced yet.

I haven't seen a series of A . hilara so I'm not sure whether the extent of white is critical, but it looks to be in the right position, I thought the antennae bases were OK for Ardozyga. 3rd image here shows striped legs,

I think the markings on A. hilara are variable, although perhaps affected by scale-loss in handling. I think the wings of this specimen are too long for Blastobasis.
