Small yellow and brown moth. The brown scales are elevated to give the moth a textured look. At certain angles, the scales reflect metallic gold. About the size of a normal sized mosquito (as in picture 2). Probably Family Tortricidae.
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.

Thank you bayucca.
Most probably a Tortricidae.
