Take a look at Dioryctria
A tough group; Pyralid Moths (Pyralidae) » Phycitinae » Phycitini » Dioryctria. Perhaps in the Dioyctria schuetzeella grp. From Univ. Alberta this comment; "The Nearctic members of the Dioryctria schuetzeella group (D. reniculelloides and D. pseudotsugella) are notoriously difficult to identify, due to intermediate morphological forms and a broadly sympatric distribution." Hope this helps get you started.
