Possibly Scythris fusciomella
On the advice of Terry Harrison we have moved this photo at MPG to 1680.99 - Sycthridid Moth spp. The moths are near Scythris fusciomella (and might be that species) but probably can't be determined at the species level without dissection.

How about this one?
This looks similar, is it possibly a member of the Xyloryctidae/Sycthrididae as well?



Thanks for any ideas.

Yes, Same as Lynette's
...and also a photo by Parker Backstrom at Bear Creek, NC, which is what started this review by Terry Harrison.

Looks good to me
Well, I'm certainly no expert, but it looks like the same moth, for what that's worth.
