Yes, Ken, I spent quite a while shifting back and forth between Aristotelia
photos, and was still uncertain when I decided upon 1728. The reasons for my
choice were its pinkish coloring (which doesn’t show up well in the photo), the
pink/black banding on center leg and the lighter (yellowish) dot at the top of
the rear diagonal black band. I have no idea where these characteristics are
diagnostic for the species. BTW: I found this moth on our refrigeration, but
I assume it came in from outdoors.

I agree with Aristotelia but I can't commit to a species since there are
several similar ones including 1761 Aristotelia roseosuffusella. Date doesn't
help because I don't think any of them are supposed to be flying in January!

The last day of January was by far my most productive mothing evening of the
month. This was one of them.
My best shot: Aristotelia amelanchierella – 1728 -- or something thereabouts.
