This moth's been puzzling me for about 5 years now...
I've done much searching but have never been able to find a match even remotely close. Interesting to see its range extend into Arizona - being that I have only ever found it in coastal Los Angeles I had begun to think it was an introduced species, but now I'm starting to think that it may be native to the southwest. Hopefully we'll have a name for this one some day.

 
I photographed one other time.

Tineidae
