Acrolophus
Definitely a male (as indicated by the very long labial palps) Acrolophus sp. (Acrolophidae). There are quite a few spp. of Acrolophus in Florida, and some of them are rather variable in appearance. Dissection would be the only really safe way to ID this moth. The color pattern of your moth appears to be most similar to that of the individual of A. plumifrontella in Carol Wolf's photo shown here, but that really is just a guess.
