Not sure what this one is. Got plenty of bristles and tufts. Found at BugSwarm 2013. Haven't seen anything posted from the event that looks like (unless I may be missing something). Any IDeas what it is?

Closest I come is either 317 Clemens' Bark Moth – Xylesthia pruniramiella or 347 Cresson's Grass Tubeworm Moth – Acrolophus cressoni

THANKS!
