C. rhoifoliella
I would call this Caloptilia rhoifoliella. It and C. sassafrasella are similar, but C. sassafrasella is a bit more yellowish brown, and it has a super-narrow forewing that has a speckled appearance along much of its length (see here). In C. rhoifoliella, the ground color is darker, the forewing is not quite so narrow, and it lacks the extensive speckling. That seems to be generally the case with this moth.

You Might Get Lucky......
....browsing the Caloptilia at BOLD. I don't think we have a name yet for the moth in your photo. (no rsvp, thanks)
