Argyresthia
I agree; the moth pictured above looks to be a match for A. freyella.

Thank You
Should a new species page be made for it or should it stay at the genus level?

Is there a Hodges number for this species?

Might Be, but wait a bit.....
Terry Harrison will confirm ID through specimen at Univ. Illinois first chance he gets.
