This looks a lot like John's 304257 but ours had a wingspan that was barely 10mm, so we don't know if ours was a different species or just a runt!

I think they are the same species, but not sure if they are the same individuals. In Powell & Opler they give the forewing length varying from 5.5 to 8 mm. On my sheet the thread count is about 3 per mm.
