i thought Barea (genus), but apparenty no obvious prominent upright palps (?) does not support that idea.

It;s worn but iNaturalist's AI algorithm has suggested Scoparia (genus) and S. chiasta. I think the the third photo from side-on is a pretty good match for Scoparia chiasta. See here:-

If approved this would be a first observation of this species for SCNM.
