Black-dotted gray moth - Phycitodes reliquellum

The stretched-out antennae are, indeed, not what I would expect to see on a Homeosoma but who knows, it may do it when it is about to take off. The pattern of the dark spots may actually point to this type of moth but, if so, I would prefer Phycitodes reliquella. Anyway, I shouldn't have commented in the first place!

I doubt it

I'm reluctant to provide advice on these types of moths, but the stretched out antennae don't go with Homeosoma, I think.
