Hellensia pectodactylus
The dark fringe on the fissure or split of the front wings and the dot at base of fissure, plus the darker front thighs (femora) indicate H. pectodactylus.

I always look forward to your good reporting & photos of birds and insects on Nature Nuggets blog!

Thanks, Lee....
...I understand that Plume Moths are challenging to identify, so I am glad and impressed that you were able to do so. Thanks so much. And thank-you for your comment regarding my Nature Nuggets blog. It is fun, and keeps me involved with so many aspects of natural history. It is rewarding to know that people enjoy it!
