Are these all photos of the same moth? The first photo appears to show a moth with shorter antennae,

I'm about 95% certain it is the same moth. The wing pattern is identical in the first two photos. In the first photo, the moth is in motion and the antennae are angled up towards the camera and therefore appear shorter, I think.
