2787  Bunchberry Leaffolder Moth? - Olethreutes connectum

2787 Bunchberry Leaffolder Moth? - Olethreutes connectum
Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
Size: 10-11 mm long
Found during daytime in the Rutgers botanical gardens, which includes both plantings & natural areas. I had naively matched this with complete confidence to 2787 -- Bunchberry Leaffolder Moth -- Olethreutes connectus (connectum). But I'm backpedaling because I don't see a lot of photos of that sp.

Checked
by Bob Patterson, "sounds reasonable."

Moved from Moths.

Olethreutes connectus
That would be my guess as well.

Thanks, Steve! Aside from your help, there's been a resounding silence on my ID requests, & I really am pretty sure that nothing else matches the patterning on this one, so I'm just going to move it to the sp page. But comments & corrections (and advice on the proper procedure in this case) of course welcome.
