interesting sighting. Despite a lot of creative looking I've not found an answer. Looks a BIT like http://v3.boldsystems.org/index.php/Taxbrowser_Taxonpage?taxid=977243 but I am not convinced

I don't think it is T. macroscia either. I cannot see the upturned palps and I am not convinced it is a Gelechioid
