I thought this might be a bird dropping moth but couldn't find any close matches there. I wonder if it might be Antaeotricha schlaegeri, Schlaeger's Fruitworm Moth?

Antaeotricha
Thanks for identifying this moth as belonging to the genus Antaeotricha, Aaron. I read that it can be impossible to tell some Antaeotricha species apart without dissection.
