Tiny Tot - Archips purpurana

Tiny Tot - Archips purpurana
Longmeadow, Massachusetts, USA
August 12, 2015
Size: very small
Looking for the ID of this tiny insect. At first I thought I saw a bit of a leaf settling on our hydrangea plant but it registered on me that it seemed to have wings. I got just a few inches away and got this shot with my camera phone, when suddenly it flew off. I'm guessing it's some kind of micro moth but I didn't see it on the site. Thanks for your help! Longmeadow,MA

With more research and a coup
With more research and a couple of comments on a FB BugGuide group, I think this is Archips purpurana – Omnivorous Leafroller Moth. Looking for confirmation.

Tortricidae
