Filatima depuratella?
This is definitely a gelechiid; it could be a worn individual of Filatima depuratella, as seen here, but the ground color of your moth looks white, rather than ochreous as in F. depuratella. I don't know what else your moth could be, but there might be other possibilities.

I agree
I think you are correct, after seeing the pictures of F. depuratella that BugGuide has it looks like mine is just beaten up a bit.
