Thank you for the dorsal. Makes my suggestion even more plausible .

Thanks
Though by no means and expert, I looked through the MPG images and independently picked Grapholita prunivora as the closest match in their collection.

You might look through the Grapholitinis. Do you have a dorsal? That would help. Most of them had white in the dorsal area. This was the only one I thought might come close to your specimen .

Not an expert. Not an ID beyond Tribe.
