Gelechioid Moth - Oegoconia

Gelechioid Moth - Oegoconia
Brighton, Monroe County, New York, USA
October 3, 2012
This small moth reminds me of Four-spotted Yellowneck - Hodges#1134 (Oegoconia quadripuncta). However, it doesn't seem quite right for 1134. Also, it seems late in the year. The latest specimens for the Northeast at BugGuide.net are early to mid-September. Is it just an odd-looking washed out 1134, or is it something else?

Probably O. novimundi, needs dissection for confirmation.
