Omnivorous Leafroller - Archips purpurana? - Archips purpurana

Omnivorous Leafroller - Archips purpurana? - Archips purpurana
Epping, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, USA
July 30, 2009
Could someone please tell me if this moth is an Omnivorous Leafroller (Archips purpurana)? I went through images in BugGuide and the closest I found was this one: http://bugguide.net/node/view/223909

The moth was attracted to the backdoor light. The lot is mixed deciduous/coniferous with a nearby river.

Thanks.

Tend to Agree
Archips purpurana is distinguishable from similar tortricid by its bell shape, the costal edge of the FW having a very noticeable inward curve after the midpoint, then curving outward to the apex. If that's not enough, BG distribution indicates this moth seen in your region during JULY.
