Moved from Nepticulidae.
Thanks Erik. I saved the specimen for a local micro specialist.

brown Stigmella
This is a Stigmella, collar with lamellar scales
There are not many brown Stigmella in NA, most likely a saginella-group member, eg flavipedella or castaneaefoliella.
A dissection ore barcode might help.
