C. deauratella?
I suspect this is C. deauratella, which tends to have thicker antenna bases like this--but the key feature is whether the scales behind/below the eyes are pale yellow (trifolii) or dark brown (deauratella).

I checked the original image
And the scales are pale. Definitely not dark brown.

Please add post ocular crop
I don't believe Coleophora trifolii can have the antennae thickened to the extent shown in these images and the description in general doesn't seem to fit. I suspect that the pale scales are an artifact.

Edit - Just to be clear, I do see what looks like could be pale scales but am not convinced by them. Landry & Wright 1993 (1) describes both deauratella and trifolii and on p. 592 illustrate antennae of both species. Yours matches that of deauratella and not trifolii.

Postocular scales crop
Can you add a crop showing the pale yellow posocular scales?
