This moth was sent to BOLD Systems for identification via DNA. The quality of the DNA was too low for an ID.
I have placed this moth within this genus based on similarity as shown in the BG thumbnails shown in comment below.
Confirmation on this genus, or otherwise appreciated - thanks!

Tortricidae

Probably the same species as the specimen on the left; also see Bob's comment on the specimen on the right.
