Lake Crabtree leaf miner on Rubus pensilvanicus D1064 2018 2 - Ectoedemia rubifoliella

Lake Crabtree leaf miner on Rubus pensilvanicus D1064 2018 2 - Ectoedemia rubifoliella
Lake Crabtree County Park, Wake County, North Carolina, USA
June 25, 2018
Initially i thought this tiny mine was Stigmella villosella. Yet could it be a Bucculatrix? It is smaller than I remembered Stigmella being, and it has the right turn at the end of the mine... not sure if that is in any way diagnostic.
