Antaeotricha leucillana
Moth About 1/2 inch long
Backyard
OK, got it! Indeed some of the microleps, Gelechioidea, Elachistidae/Ocophoridae (never heard of), Stenomatinae (never heard of), Antaeotricha sp. (never heard of), I think it is Antaeotricha leucillana:

You have to compare and verify! There is another very similar one, but in my eyes some of the markings fit better with Leucillana than Antaeotricha schlaegeri:

What do others think? I am not 100% sure about the species.
Might be some kind of microleps and if so good luck with ID! Unfortunately this would be a very hard job, since info is rare, pictures in books and web very small like the bugs. Remembers me some kind of a leafroller, but that might be far away...
