Synclera jarbusalis looks close, but I don't think it is this one.

Might be a Synclera sp., I found one which looks very fine but the stupid guy comes from Australia which I just noticed after looking through dozens of pictures...

One in Crambidae snout moths. They are small in size.

Being very curious, I just looked thru hundreds of moth photos from a moth guide and also flickr photos. NONE are like this. Congrats! I hope you solve the mystery.
