No idea on this little guy. Only shot I could get on an insanely windy day. At the bush block.

Nice photo. Sorry that several species in several genera in Oecophoridae look rather like that.

@donhe I thought that may be the case. As I own the block and it's close to home I'll check back soon and see if I can get some better photos on a calmer day.

@Csteele4 : Capturing it and putting it to sleep in the fridge may allow you to expose (and photograph ) a hindwing, and photograph the head in close-up, before it warms up and objects. Such photos may help to reduce the ambiguity.
