Amazing antennae. Either they were waving in the breeze or it could wave them about independently of each other ... at one point they were rotating in opposite directions.

Looks like M. harmostis, including the orange palps and white tip to the antennae. M. harmostis online do not show yellow on the basal white forewing band though.
