Size: Length ~12mm
At outdoor lamp. This moth allowed me to take only this photo - is the distinct pattern enough for an ID? The size was determined from the smudge next to the moth.

Scardia anatomella
This is Scardia anatomella (Tineidae).

 
Wrong again.
Thank you, Terry, for setting things straight with this one and providing an ID. I better be more careful with my suggestions of taxonomic placement!

 
You're doing fine,
and Tortricidae was a perfectly reasonable suggestion here. The important point is that you have learned a new micro, and thanks for contributing a fine photo of a perfect individual of this species to BugGuide.
