Moved to Gelechioidea
Moved from Pyralid Moths.

Pretty sure it's in Gelechioidea and not a Pyralid. The antennae look like they form eye cups in front of the eyes and I think I see up turned labial palpi. My first thought was Blastobasidae but the wings look folded and tent like. Maybe something in Elachistidae or Momphidae. What ever it is, it's similar to Kyle's NC image:

Not sure
Are you sure this is a pyralid? I would have guessed Blastobasidae.

Not sure.
No I'm not sure. You are probably right. Would you like me to move or frass the image? Thanks
