This may be an unnamed species from the Scoparia (genus).
It appears to be a good match to this moth of which there are several photos on the ALA by Reiner Richter, see here:-

Further searching on Bold Systems may match it to an unnamed or named species held by ANIC.
A good photo an an apparent first for CNM.

A further search has found a good match for S. gethosyna, previously recorded by D. Hobern at Aranda in October 2010.
