A Moth?

I found this on the roof of my hive this morning, after a day and night of heavy rain.

Thought I'd stick it up here as I've heard of wax moths but don't know a great deal about them. Is this one? Or just a random moth in the wrong place at the wrong time?

No, it's not a wax moth. Can't see what it is as it's upside down, but wrong shape for either of the wax moths.
