This moth was about the size of a pumpkin seed. Looks a lot like Chalky Inga Moth, but too many spots?

Durrantia piperatella?
I think this is where I'm landing for the id, unless otherwise convinced:)

found this similar photo of Antaeotricha albulella
found this similar photo https://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/contrib_living_plate.php?plate=01&init=VG&size=l&sort=h
but its the only picture of Antaeotricha albulella I've found with that many dots, so I'm confused about whether the id is correct on the photo.
Doesn't seem quite right for Chalky Inga Moth though.
