What am I missing here? I can't find anything close to this #moth from #GluepotReserve last week.
The gestalt indicates #Gelechioidea and the labial palpi are recurved but not savagely so (unlike most #Australian #Oecophoridae or #Depressariidae which were my first guesses). The black legs suggest #Xyloryctidae and it's reminiscent of some NZ Gymnobathra apart from the palpi.
There are also hints of #Erebidae, but surely not ...
