Plume Moth ~ Pterophoridae ~ Gillmeria albertae

I spotted this plume moth while hiking near Pocaterra Ridge in Kananaskis Country of Alberta. Until this point, I had been completely oblivious to the existence of plume moths. I am not sure how this was possible as it appears that they are not that uncommon. I have further labeled the species as Gillmeria albertae - which would be a more rare finding as this species is only found around the mountains near Banff National Park. I made this very informal identification due to its location and also the fact that every picture I've brought up of Gillmeria albertae seems to show rounded wings, while the other Alberta species all seemed to have pointed wings. Also, the time of year and the high elevation sighting were correct for the species. If anyone knows better, let me know!
