    I was looking at some Gelechiodea when I came acroos this pix & realised here is a match in headend, bodyshape, wings, antennae & even the position of the legs.

    So it is in the Family Pyralidae, subfamily Phycitinae.
    A check with Phycitinae does not reveal any match, the closest being Ephestia unicolorella

    Ephestia includes a number of pest species of fruits,& nuts, cacao, almond etc.

    It is not this species, but certainly in the same subfamily.
