Little Reddish-brown Moth - Argyrotaenia amatana
A. D. Barnes Park, Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA
December 29, 2010
Size: about 15 mm
I was walking around midday at the park looking for 'bugs" to photograph and this beautiful little moth landed on the tip of a dry leaf right in front of me. I took these two pics and as I tried to get a more profile pic it flew away. It looks to me like something in the family Tortricidae, but was unable to find it (probably because, as usual when it comes to moth, I'm looking in the wrong place :-P) Any ideas?

Tortricid Moth
Start your browsing through Cochylini tribe. If that doesn't help, keep backing a notch, e.g., to Tortricinae, then Tortricidae.

Thank you.
Well I guess I was on the right track after all.
How about a Red-banded Leafroller - Hodges#3597 (Argyrotaenia velutinana)??? it would be a first for FL, what do we think or is it some other close to it?
