The last I heard is that this species can't be ID'd from a photo. Wingspan 
measurements can help but microscopic examination of the mouth parts or 
genetalia are necessary for a definite ID. I think for an FOY that at least 
we'd need wing measurements.

Would anyone agree with the ID of Grape Leaffolder Moth (Desmia funeralis) on 
these 2 photos?
