This is the same species as Antonio's moth, Esperia sulphurella, that you said you hadn't seen in the UK! It is just another variant of the colours. I might be wrong but I think that the Males have the yellow shoulder lines, the Females are more cryptic.

Humm.. well I was intriguied so went back to look at Antonio's moth, I do remember that its lovely, as most of his are! I was wrong, it is a UK species but very local so not one I've ever seen or remembered reading about. His moth is actually Esperia oliviella which is very similar but has the more complete fascia strip. I learn something new everyday about moths..lol
Thanks for getting me digging, I love mothy mysteries!! :D
