I agree
I think you're right with A. pruniella. A. conjugella is another option but I think the more distinct second white patch of scales and the overall lighter brown rather than a darker gray coloration is a good match for A. pruniella.

Check out this reference which compares A. pruniella and A. conjugella: https://caps.ceris.purdue.edu/dmm/2305
