Do you have any other photos? Also a closer view by cropping and magnifying the image would help if you can.

Sorry Ian, but these are the only photos I got. I think zooming in on the images will help, though.

Antennae dont look right for T. patulella and I think the forewings are not thé right triangular shape.

Failing a closer photo I'm going on size and shape which does suggest Scieropepla polyxesta, but this moth seems to lack faint cream colouring about the head entertaining doubt in my mind.
