Likely to be X. assimilis although Im not sure I can sse much yellow tinge along the costa or at the wing tips. Cannot see the pinkish underside and legs of X. luteotactella. X.'leucophanes is another possibility although I don;'t know whether that species has been recorded locally.. Bold Systems 4 was down...
