While L. cataphracta is variable in its forewing pattern thare are examples of this species on both iNaturalist and the ALA which closely match this specimen.

I have assumed there are no uptuned labial palpi visible and there is a 'small, hairy head' indicating Psychidae is possible. ( Zborowski and Edwards 2007).
