tentative ID 3545 – Acleris minuta – Yellowheaded Fireworm M
I'm going with 3545 – Acleris minuta – Yellowheaded Fireworm Moth
Based on pinned specimens at mpg

The only living image I could find was here in pbase

 
I had an expert say this:
Sparganothis Caryae

 
Sparganothis caryae
I agree. I have yet to see one of these in my home state of Pennsylvania, but I've found numbers of them near Warren Grove, NJ, which isn't too far from you. Nice moth!

(The head shape rules out Acleris.)
