Acrobasis normella species page

I am hoping that an expert can create a species page for this image by John Morgan that appears in the Lepidoptera pages. https://bugguide.net/node/view/1709961/bgimage

I found the species Hodges#5677 Acrobasis normella in the photographic plates at MPG here:

not sure
I made the page but did not move the image because I think Acrobasis ostryella is a better match based on the Neunzig (1986) (1). A. normella should not have all that white scaling especially in the distal area. I'm emailing Hugh McGuinness to ask if he could take another look.
