Tineidae
This is a tineid. At best guess, I would say that it is a very worn individual of Tinea mandarinella.

Variable Prolita Moth - Prolita variabilis
This moth may be a Prolita variabilis - Hodges#1902 (Prolita variabilis)


But I am no expert and most adults are seen from Aug to Oct according to the info page http://bugguide.net/node/view/572961. MPG does have a record from June in Alberta, however http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/large_map.php?hodges=1902.
