Looks similar to some Ancylis species but I don't see one that's close enough to be happy with.

Ancylis definitivana
Two species,
A. definitivana
and
A. brauni
, have the black triangular suffusion from the costa at ~3/4 the length of the forewing as seen in your moth. Of the two, yours looks most (in fact, very much) like the right-hand photo of live
A. definitivana
by Nolie Schneider, on the previously-linked MPG page. I don't know if these two spp. really can be differentiated on sight ID, but based on the images that we have,
A. definitivana
probably is the best bet.
