Leaf Blotch Miner Moth - Caloptilia stigmatella

Leaf Blotch Miner Moth - Caloptilia stigmatella
In Westwood - elevation 5100ft, Lassen County, California, USA
December 1, 2010
Size: Length 7.5mm
I found this moth indoors. We have had freezing nights and lots of snow the last few weeks; kind of has me wondering about it's seasonality.

I am thinking this moth might be Caloptilia palustriella Hodges #0621, based on photos at at: "MPG", and at "Cal Photos"
Another possibility is Caloptilia stigmatella Hodges #0639 - at: "MPG"

I am grateful for any ID confirmation or correct ID for this moth - Thanks!
