Aristotelia
This is something in Aristotelia (Gelechiidae). I can't take it farther than that on sight ID.

Not likely
A. amelanchierella is a western species, described from Utah and reared from a different species of Amelanchier from the one that occurs here in the east.

Quite a few of the eastern spp. of Aristotelia have pink scaling, to a greater or lesser degree depending on species, individual variation, and wear.
