Pseudopostega
Yes, this is either P. quadristrigella or P. cretea. These two are easy to differentiate if dissected, but sight ID is tough. See comments here. It basically gets down to determining arbitrarily whether the brown spot is "big" or "small" (and having it usually come out "intermediate"...).
