Going by iNat this looks to be Aproaerema simplexella. I had not previously noticed the black and white dot half way up the wing near the inner margin. The photos show this beautifully.

Do we want to distinguish the two species? We could easily add A. simpldexalla to the list.

Thanks Wendy and Ian!
