Ptyoptila matutinella
This moth is the same species as the one in the previous spotting but the colour varied. The fore wings were pearly with a purplish tinge becoming brown towards the trailing margins.
This moth also had two faint dark spots in the mid region of each fore wing.
The thorax showed a crest.
Spotted the night before the other Wingia - attracted to bright lights in the garden.
