small moth - Eucosma grindeliana

small moth - Eucosma grindeliana
about five miles east of Gulf Breeze, Florida, Santa Rosa County, Florida, USA
September 23, 2010
Size: about 0.7 cm length
On 9/23/2010 I submited photos of a small moth that I couldn't ID to BAMONA and received an ID of H-3003, Phaneta stramineana. It looked like a good fit and I subsequently photographed the same moth on 4/26/2011, 3/13/2012, and 5/12/13. I recenly noted that on the MPG sighting maps of this moth sightings were only reported in the western part of the county and a similiar moth, H-3002, Phaneta grindeliana, was reported in the Southeastern part of the country. Good photos of these moths seem rather few on both MPG and BugGuide so I would appreciate your opinion of the ID of attached photos.

If possible, would you send me larger photos for use at MPG? Squares up to 560x560 would work well.

I have emailed copies of the pictures, hope they are OK and useable.
