Black and white moth with rust-colored head
Even though this moth is striking and distinctive in appearance, I don't recognize it as anything I have seen. Given the forewing pattern, the apparently somewhat fuzzy head (which rules out anything in Gelechioidea), and the long antennae, which it seems to be waving through the air, I will guess that it is a gracillariid of the subfamily Gracillariinae, and if so, it is probably to be found somewhere in the neighborhood of Acrocercops/Parectopa.
