At outdoor light. This quite attractive looking moth must be a Renia, perhaps discoloralis, but I cannot figure it out and would appreciate opinions or even an ID. The wing spread must have been around 30mm.

Moved from Renia. To me, antenna tuft, wing shape and markings are consistent with R. adspergillus, but this is a lighter version than the one referred to in my earlier comment, and the one I have posted here.

Renia adspergillus
I discovered this photo in my files and now favor Renia adspergillus as its ID on the basis of the "speckled" wings and the shape of the forewings alluded to here and seen in Jim Vargo's photos on this plate
