Choristoneura rosaceana (tentative) - Oblique-banded Leafroller 1a.jpg

I have been told that although this moth is most likely identified correctly, there is a possibility that it is actually Archips purpurana. In females of C. rosaceana the hindwing always has some orange, while in A. purpurana they do not.
