? Tortricid moth

Description:

A small (8mm long) silky grey moth with smudged brown patches and a distinct brown patch on either fore wing nearer the apex. Outer margins of both fore wings had a white silky fringe. Antennae were about half the size of the wing and eyes appeared prominent. The wings were held flat with the costal margin flared out almost touching the surface on which it was resting.

Habitat:

Flew in from the garden. Warm northerly winds on the night.

Notes:

Still looking for an ID....any help will be greatly appreciated. Looks like a Bell Moth but I am not able to find a match. Thanks
