Tentative ID. See comments below. Thanks Hugh!

Gray Renia
This moth is certainly not Bleptina. I agree with Steve that it best fits Renia discoloralis, although I am not sure that I have ever seen one so gray.

Moved from Bent-winged Owlet.

I think this may be R. discoloralis but am unsure how to eliminate similar species in the genus. Bent-winged does not have palps extend forward with terminal segment much shorter than the second. If you sent this to Hugh and he disagrees go ahead and move it back.

Will do.

Renia?
Seth's probably right but the st. line is pretty jagged for that species. You might want to send it to Hugh McGuinness.
