Caloptilia Leaf Miner Moth - Caloptilia
In Westwood by outdoor night light; elevation 5100ft, Lassen County, California, USA

This specimen was sent to BOLD Systems for DNA analysis.
But, as it sometimes happens, the sequencing of the DNA failed.
So, any help with species ID is appreciated.

Thank you Steve!
I viewed the photos of Caloptilia strictella at BOLD, and I agree with you on this species ID.

(please see Steve's comments on the lateral photo of this specimen.)
