Gelechiidae - Anacampsinae - Battaristis sp.
Unfortunately, one can't see the detail at the outer margin of the forewing necessary for making the identification at the species level. This is a case that recommends the method of Capture-Chill-Photograph-Release for photographers who do not also collect the specimens. Usuing this method generally provides the conditions for getting good lateral views so important to getting an ID.
