I think the antennae may be just visible and are tucked under the forewing, The best match I have been able to find is F. fuscicepsana or Fuscicepsana Group. Ostensibly coastal based on the distribution online and the specis seems quite variable. However the markings of this moth at the outer margin of the forewing, although very similar, don't quite match most examples of F. fuscicepsana I can see online.
A new species record for CNM if confirmed.
