Hi Guido,

I think your visitor is a particulary pale specimen of the Plume Moth (Emmelina monodactyla), also known as the 'T-Moth'. These are found throughout Europe and in other parts of the world.

Yes, seems it. Actually the picture is darker than the real color. It is completely white.
Thank you for the identification.
Bye Jon.
