I agree with your comments and considered both Condica moblis and C. vecors as possible IDs. However I also noticed that this specimen in the resting position has a faint PM line that is almost horizontal from outer margin to outer margin. The PM line on Condica vecors begins horizontal but vectors upwards about halfway to the inner margin so that it is almost in line with the discal spots at the inner margin. I didn't know if this was significant but thought it was worth a shot. Thanks for your comments.

To me this looks more like the closely related Condica vecors - Dusky Groundling Moth
My reasoning is based on overall looks: your moth is generally more dotted and less defined than the pictures of albigera on MPG

And vecors also has the light brown spot in the ST that shows up well in your photo. The distinct claviform spot of vecors is not always so as the above thumbnail shows.
Open to debate however.
