Ptyoptila matutinella
Attracted to night lights this small (12mm) moth has the form of the Wingia group but I haven't previously seen the fire colors towards the tail.
Outer urban back yard.

The Wingia group of moths are readily identified by their nightly conversations
"Not another boring light!" is a common complaint.
