Hmm, maybe you check some other fruit pests. Try to google Tortricidae and pest and mexico to check others. And you never know, you unfortunately have to check intruders...

Thank you bayucca, it does look like the light brown Apple Moth and there are a lot of apple, pear, peach and plum trees in the valley, even in our garden! I didn't see a record for Mexico. Should we put Epiphyas sp.?
Yes, Tortricidae, looks similar to LBAM, but I am sceptic...
