Unidentified structure/mine on apple leaf - Callisto denticulella

I'm not sure what this is on this apple leaf. What looks like silk covers some brown scratch marks.

Gracillariidae
This is a young mine of a gracillariid. What looks like silk is the loosened upper epidermis; it is white because the larva was mostly feeding on sap rather than tissue. The brown streaks are typical frass of a sap-feeding larva. If I remember correctly, an upper surface mine should be Callisto rather than Parornix, but I'll have to check my notes.
