I did not suggesr Plectobela undxescribed species because th moth in this sighting has a a very black thorax, unlike that presumed species.

Ian. don't think it is Pedois humerana which either has a costal band from the base to about half way or if no band is lacking the basal bar.
Plectobela sp. ANIC1 is also missing the basal bar

More ploblematic for it being P.orescoa, I think, is the lack of a distinct black edge or 'collar' to the thorax,. See here:-

@donhe and @ibaird the wings were uneven and there is a distinct line where it changes colour. It's a bit hard to tell because of the sunlight and shadow, but I think palps are one colour not barred.
