Jenkinshelea albaria
When Grogan and Wirth revised the genus the smallest Jenkinshelea albaria they had was 2.75 mm wing length and the largest J. stonei was 2.79 mm. Your size measurement implies a wing length over 3 mm so if it is accurate this should be J. albaria.

Thanks!
I show a wing length of 3.6 - 3.8 mm., depending on the endpoints. It's safe to say that the wing length is greater than 3.5 mm.

(The measurement is done using manual focus at minimum distance, which results in a fixed distance per pixel for in-focus images. If the span being measured is not perpendicular to the viewing angle, the measurement is smaller than actual size. Otherwise, it is generally accurate to within one percent.)
