Emma, I think that suggestion may be as specific as you can get. I will look later, if you are interested in finding a possible species.

The moth was able to escape thru a rip in the mesh.

I reloaded this spotting . As a result the ID suggestion got deleted.
The previous suggestion was,
Amblyptilia sp. Amblyptilia Moth Photographers Group – Plate 15 – Pterophoridae

Hmm...Emma, I may be able to get to subfamily or even luckier, genus, though these Plume moths may be the most closely related moths!
