Looks good to me ...
Jim,
FW grey with groups of raised scales at ⅓ from the base and additional black dots scattered on the wing. Supposedly, the groups of raised scales in the FW makes it easy to recognize. Based on the pinned specimens on MPG and BOLD, I believe this is Wockia asperipunctella (2415.10)
