Interesting. Can't find a match. Similar to Tebenna micalis but not the same and I think smaller.

It also seems to me that sighting 4433899 is the same moth and not Tebenna micalis.

I agree, similar to 4433899, likely Asterivora (genus); but looking at Asterivora (genus) on BOLD 4 and iNaturalist and the ALA, I don't see a good match with this wing pattern.
