Guessing Tortricid and wondering (1) if that's right and (2) how much further the ID might be taken.

Hi Ken, looks like Tortricid
Could this be Hodges 2772 – Phaecasiophora niveiguttana – Labyrinth Moth? Carol's photo at the MPG shows a good dorsal view and the pinned moths show the white spot pretty well. I'm far from certain though.

I think you nailed it, Randy.
At least, I can't find a significant difference between my critter and the P. niveiguttana images in the Guide and on MPG--and I see a whole lot of similarities. Still, if you're not sure, then I'm not prepared to claim certainty either.

I'll sit tight with this for now. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Thanks!
