While similarly shaped and stance to many pyralids if you look in front of the moths face you will see a sickle shaped object (there should be 2 but one is missing/broken) this is called 'palps'. Pyralids tend to have straight facing maybe fluffy palps. Moths in the Gelechioidae have a pair of curved/sickle shaped palps of various lengths.
