Gelechiidae
I know you post a lot of good tortricid pics Tom, but this time it's a different micro family. Notice the large recurved labial palps, half thick, half thin. This is one of the indicators of geleciids. A very diverse family that is poorly illustrated, probably because they are harder to ID than tortricids

recurved labial palps
I'll have to remember that. It's a pretty obvious feature that will get me to the right family next time. Thanks Dennis.
