I believe this is Philenora aspectalella =P.a. it has thread-like antennae (A.s. - dark pectinate see 4571765 or Anestia semiochrea ) P.a. has big white spot on termen with an orange or white fringe, plus 2 or 3 adjacent small dots extending into the fringe (A.s. lacks distinct white dot, if white patches they are suffused) P.a. has a dark zigzag mark joining the median and subterminal lines. It has 2 curves along inner side of medial line. Strong white oblong patch on head between antennae and extending to collar. (A.s. lacks zigzag line, it may have a diffuse patch joining them. White marking on head is less distinct and does not extend down to the collar. Generally markings are less well defined and patches are often quite suffused.)
