The specimen does seem to have forewing pattern (such at is) which is a match to Scrobipalpa pyrrhanthesPS1, so should we subbest Scrobipalpa pyrranthes or Scrobipalpa (genus) as the ID?

Thanks Wendy - I saw thar when I was trying to find more examples after you left your suggestions, I have no idea what PS1 means either.

I am pretty sure these are photos of the same moth . The first 2 were taken at the same the time - the 3rd one later when I found it dead on the sheet. As there were only a few moths that night it looks to be the same one and there was nothing else like it that I noticed visiting. To me, It doesn't look like Ardozyga haemaspila when I compare with BOLD and the ones on iNat.
