Acrolophus myctophagus
Brown, black and white moth. Thick tufts of white hairs on legs. 12 mm long.
Seen on the inside of a window during the day.
Had to tape white paper outside of the window to get my iphone to focus. Then I had to put a piece of plywood behind it on the inside to get the outside shot. Larvae feed on bracket fungi.
Thank you SukanyaDatta and ForestDragon for the suggestions. This is the first moth that's come to my attention that feed on fungi in their larval stage.
