Very small moth - Alucita montana

Very small moth - Alucita montana
Stevens County, Washington, USA
November 7, 2011
Size: wingspan approx 0.5 inch
Hazy late afternoon sun behind and to the right of this moth on the inside of my window. (Daytime temps barely above freezing at this point.) This very tiny moth is pretty common right now. Wings have transparent quality when on my computer monitor or window, but look very drab on a solid surface.
