Aristotelia With an Attitude (Gelechiidae)
When you look at SangMi Lee's Gelechiid Plate at MPG you will find some matching markings in a number of Aristotelia species but not enough in any one species to declare a match. You will need to alter your photo to brighten it and reduce contrast considerably in order to make the comparison.

Does this help?

After looking at the plates, I would say Aristotelia roseosuffusella fits best, but that's just my amateur opinion.

I Can't Recall in Memory the First Photo....
.... but I downloaded it and lightened it even more. I still couldn't find a photo match which, if it were my own photo, would have satisfied me. I'll send my lightened photo to SangMi Lee to see what she has to say.
