I've called it Barea dryocetes here but it could be Opsitycha squalidella, this specimen is in better condition of the last one I put up. I wonder if these two are one of the same thing?

According to Lepidoptersa Butterfly House they are probably the same species. We are still looking for another authority for this suggestion.
