Crambus praefectellus/leachellus
It is probably either Crambus praefectellus or C. leachellus. The difference between them is that in C. leachellus, the white streak that goes through the forewing runs right along the costa for the basal half of the wing. In C. praefectellus, there is a thin strip of dark color running along the costa so the white streak never reaches the costa. Unfortunately the basal half of the costa isn't visible in the picture because of the way Crambus spp. hold their wings. A side view would make identification possible.

It's probably a Crambus species, but it is hard to tell which species from this photo. A lateral view is needed.
