Maybe a type of Plume Moth:

Definitely a Plume Moth. The one fly_girl has found, Platyptilia carduidactyla looks a very good match, and this site: http://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/research/biosystematics/invertebrates/lepidoptera/cgi-bin/species.pl?Platyptilia?Pterophoridae
shows that it is found in New Zealand,
