Unknown Moth 4977 - Olybria aliculella

Unknown Moth 4977 - Olybria aliculella
Located about 10 miles NW of Roswell, Chaves County, New Mexico, USA
October 23, 2018
Found in a desert area soaked with the recent monsoon rains. To my mind it's camouflage is very impressive.
Would appreciate an ID, please.
TIA

Olybria aliculella Hodges 5768
See - this is the only phycitine moth I know of with an oval marking like a reniform spot. Have seen several in SE Arizona.
