Moved
Looks right to me, but what does oraria (another NJ-occurring Eucosma) look like?

Moved from ID Request.

Eucosma dorsisignatana
I was wondering the same thing and found the answer. In oraria the large dark spot in the median area is separate from the subbasal fascia like this but there would be a spur coming off it which extends to the apex. See original paper here which has good images comparing it to similar species.
