I'm not sure if it can be Lecithoceridae. This moth holds it's wings quite differently (very vertical) and I can't find any Lecithoceridae with a similar wing pattern. Hmm...

Yes, agreed. I'm sure I;ve seen a picture of this speces somewhere, but I can't recall where!

I'm not convinced its C. cuneiferellus either. There are no photos of this species I can find with antennae pointing forward like this (at least on the ALA). The antennae are usually brown coloured. These are whitish and have a distinct form showing diamond-shape segments. The forewing pattern also looks diffierent to what I see as the typical C. cuneiferellus pattern too.
