Actually Ian, Cryptaspasma sordida on iNat and ALA look different. They have a pattern on the wings and no black tuft like these ones. Hmmmm...

Actually, both forms of C. sordida may be found on Lepidoptera Butterfly House, iNaturalist and the ALA, including the black tuft, sometimes, The species may be sexually dimorphic. I believe the tuft may or may not be visible as a crest which can be raised.
