Hi Megan, This individual is a bit worn and rubbed, but yes I'd say it's an example off the Brown House moth, Hofmannophila pseudospretella. This species is frequently found at a background level in domestic and other buildings where it is usually not too numerous or damaging. It is a species to be aware of though and monitoring should tell you if control is necessary.
