I have a similar small moth like this one but have only narrowed it down to the Superfamily Gelechioidea. I initially thought it might be in Blastobasidae but with a big question mark. Posted 6 years ago

    Worse, my photo is a little blurry which makes seeing details not so easy. Posted 6 years ago

I think this is a Blastobasid rather than Gerdana caritella.
Check out my recent observation:
