Moved, Pigritia sp.
Moved from ID Request. I can't see the labial palpi, which indicates this genus. I'm not 100% sure at this resolution that they aren't just tucked in against the head but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to spot them. I looked through a number of images in the guide of Pigritia and other genera for comparison.
