Just over 12mm. Not sure this is a snout moth. It has unipectinate antennae- could it be a Dichromodes? I couldn’t find a good match to anything

The resting posture is similar to that adopted by a number of Carposina moths.

I agree, Carposinidae looks likely, but I haven't found a match there either.
