Moved from Gelechioidea.

I think this is Coleotechnites florae but can't rule out Agnippe sp.

Not Sure
I'm not sure if it is even a Tortrcid. The palps don't look right. Do you happen to have a side view? I took a photo of a similar moth a while back and went down the path as you did, but I have not good side shots.
