Probably a Garrha species but there are so many similar moths that I'm not sure.

I agree that this is a Garrha sp. (e.g. G. repandula) The all over pink tinge, pink palps and pink wing edges as seen in the profile shot place it there. Chezala privatella is a grey/fawn moth with no pink tinge. It also sits flatter at rest, Garrha tend to be more domed.
