The clear black dots, two on each forewing, are intriguing. I think I see this feature, but only on some C. funerea specimens online, but only clealry one in each wing. The forewing trailing margin does not seem to match C. xanthomelalis which is another possibility. I don't see the features of Stericta carbonalis, the other black Pyralid (Epipaschiinae).
