Prodelodes samphoras - the ones on Bold (Hobern) have a big white head and white tips on the palps. Wings are more pointed shape than above.

While similarly shaped and stance to many pyralids if you look in front of the moths face you will see a sickle shaped object (there should be 2 but one is missing/broken) this is called 'palps'. Pyralids tend to have straight facing maybe fluffy palps. Moths in the Gelechioidae have a pair of curved/sickle shaped palps of various lengths.
