Hi Ashley, this moth looks a little too big to be a Tineid moth, I would guess that it's coming in from outside!

I have it attached as a PDF here. https://museumpests.net/dynamic-pest-fact-sheets/ I wish you the best of luck with your identification, I hope these resources are helpful.

They seemed to be mostly around the windows in the second floor. Based on looking over the descriptions and fact sheets, my theory at the moment is the brown house moth. But I'm not necessarily convinced; they seem a little too grey to be the "brown" house moth. Thanks in advance for your help!
