Thanks again Philip!

Peripsocus madescens
No Cubital Loop (a U shaped vein on the top-middle of the forewing) narrows down the families quickly. Smokey gray wings would put us in the genus Perispocus. Note how the gray triangles at the wing tips (distal forewing) have a clear rectangle at their centre...this matches nicely with Peripsocus madescens; Family Peripsocidae.
