Something else
I'm not exactly sure what this is, but the wing color is wrong for citrinipennella (also the phallus stalk looks short compared with the ones I've dissected). Do you have a photo of it with the wings spread? Hindwings can be very informative for these oak feeders...

Coptotriche
These are the only pictures of the moth. I didn't spread any of them to check the hind wings.

Hind wings
I was hoping Tony might be able to check the hindwings--when I saw his name under this photo, I thought he had posted it and might see my comment here, but now I see that I was mistaken.

Tony doesn't save the wings
He just keeps the abdomen with the genitalia.

That's a shame
Well, I'll take a look at this one again after I've finished reviewing all the species...
