Pandemis lamprosana? Would love to know how to eliminate P. limitata as a possibility.

Thank You
Thanks again and sorry for not moving it myself.

Moved from Tortricid Moths.

The difference is in the dark patch near the FW apex. In limitata, the patch is a distinct crescent shape surrounded entirely by lighter color, but in lamprosana, the distal portion of the patch fades into the darker ground color toward the apex.

 
Thank You
For the ID and explanation.
