User's notes

Maybe a male carpet moth? It was trapped between door and screen. The photo was taken from inside the house and the colour is likely a bit off because of LED lighting. With some careful coaxing, the moth escaped.

I cannot recognise any diagnostic pattern on the wings.

Thanks for explaining, @donhe. I wish I had a better-quality image for you to work with.
