Pennsylvania Moth - Acrobasis

Pennsylvania Moth - Acrobasis
Pine Swamp Road, Kempton, Berks County, Pennsylvania, USA

Can't choose from between Acrobasis caryalbella Hodges 5660 and Acrobasis demotella Hodges 5674. Can anyone explain how these two can be separated from photo images?

not an expert
and can't even be sure I can describe what I see correctly but, looking at the images on MPG, it seems 5674 is lighter (gray) on top of head, thorax and base of wings (similar to your moth) while 5660 is darker colored (brownish). Not at all professional but just what I can see.
