Ouups...
I am not able to guess what it is !
General shape and habitus is a bit like Chaetopsis (Ulidiidae) but......
Seen once on a lighted wall in Kourou, French Guiana (neotropical).

Probably Ulidiidae. Some tropical Platystomatidae also look like this, e.g. Senopterina.

It looks to be a species from Ulidiidae Lipsanini Chaetopsis-Amethysa group of genera rather than Senopterina. However, neither Elena nor I cannot tell anything more, as neither wing venation nor pattern can be recognized. Sorry.
