Coleophora deauratella
Looks like Coleophora deauratella - Hodges#1398.2 as it has white tips on the antennae


Coleophora mayrella - Hodges#1387 has black and white rings on the antennae

Thanks, Scott
I originally thought mine might be mayrella because one of the images shows faint rings. Unfortunately not a very clear image, but I just blew it up a bit:


However, your photo shows much more distinct rings, so now I don't know! Unfortunately there also seem to be over thirty species of Coleophora on the BC list and I haven't been able to find photos for many of them. In some cases where there are photos the antennae aren't shown....so I'm not sure what to do with this one! Maybe just leave it in Coleophore for now?
