Moved from Homosetia.
Thanks Terry! I never thought this one would have distinct markings to get it identified to species, but I'm glad I was wrong.

Homosetia bifasciella
Homosetia has quite a number of very similar "gray" spp. that cannot be sight identified to species level, but H. bifasciella, seen here, is distinctive enough to allow sight ID, via its blackish coloration (darker than most other spp. in the genus) and the two diffuse, faintly metallic transverse fasciae (from which the species name is derived) on the forewing.
