Olethreutes tiliana - Basswood Olethreutes - #2795. Nice photo!

 
2787 – Olethreutes connectum?
This looks like a good match with Tortricidae.com images here and here as well as BOLD images here.

 
possibly neither
The reference photos at MPG were mixed up at one time and may still be. This section of the guide needs much work. Genus level would be a safe bet for now.
Thanks

OK, but I was going by BOLD and Tortricid.com which in this case does agree with MPG.

Edit - Yes, I know that BOLD is always suspect.

 
moth question
I just posted some better photos of this moth on the Mothing and Moth-watching FB group. Could you take a look at those photos? There are several comments already.

 
URL?
Sorry, what is the URL?

Here's the link to Mothing and Moth-watching on Facebook.

Here's the photo I posted earlier today.

 
Olethreutes connectum
I think you might be right. I dug up a couple of the old photos and sharpened them and will post a set on the FB Mothing and Moth-watching group. The new photos are just a bit sharper and clearer than these. Thanks for looking at the moth.

 
Olethreutes tiliana
Thanks. This was one of those moths that was resting on the upper side of a leaf in an open area with good lighting. Just my luck to be there at the right time.
