Acrolophus variabilis (0385) or A. macrophallus (0363)
According to Peter Jump, to whom I sent the photograph, this is Acrolophus variabilis (0385) or A. macrophallus (0363), female. You can't separate these two without looking at the genitalia (although in some cases the wing length can distinguish the species).

Variabilis forewing length male 9-14 mm: female 12-16 mm.

Macrophallus forewing length male 9-10 mm: female 10-12 mm.

Acrolophus: Prob. 0373 - A. popeanella
Will try to have this confirmed. (no rsvp, thanks)
