No obvious labial palps. I cannot find any non-Gelichioid micros looking like this.

Too small to be Tracholena sulfurosa?

I'm not convinced its T. sulforosa. The shape of the boundary between the dark and light colour on the forewing (see second sharp image) seems different and this specimen looks like a more elongate moth. Also, I do not see other T. sulforosa detail.
