Size: Length ~9mm
At outdoor light. I encountered this species two days in a row - can at least the genus be determined from these images?
Edit: The originally posted images of this species were replaced with images of the individual shown now from two days later that was submitted to Lifescanner for bar-coding.

Interesting look-alike
Thank you, Marcia, for taking me to Mark Dreiling's Chionodes pereyra. Considering the difficulty assigning IDs to gelechiids from photos, I resist the temptation to move my images to the BG page of that species. The similarities are convincing enough, however, that I will definitely assign that ID as a tentative one for my own purposes (according to MPG, it is known to occur here in Florida). I really appreciate your input.
