Ossiannilssonola
The triangular apical cell of the forewing indicates that this is Typhlocybini, not Erythroneurini. The narrow head is characteristic of Ossiannilssonola. I have never seen one with this particular color pattern, but O. flavomarginata is very varied in color and this may be one of its numerous color varieties. It is a western species occurring as far north as Colorado, but such tiny insects are spread by wind and can cover very long distances on occasion.
