An Acrosticta, indeed. The problem is that the widespread and commonest A. apicalis (which has yellow fore femur), must have black fore basitarsus (here it looks to be yellow). I know it is difficult, but please a) check the fore basitarsus and b ) dry it slightly(not more than 10 min) from alcohol and take a picture of its frons sculpture. It can be a clue.
