Have you considered Achroia grisella (Pyralidae)?

Unknown Noctuid
Hello Kyhl:

Thanks for the suggestion. I had not considered that species.

However, the wing color looks good, but the head is not yellowish nor do the wing tips look pointed to me as in Achroia grisella, unless my image does not show those features well.
