(European) Four-spotted Yellowneck Moth
Oegoconia quadripuncta

The four-spotted yellowneck, also known as the leaf litter moth, is a species of gelechioid moth. It is native to Western Europe, from France to Belgium, Germany and Austria, south to the Iberian Peninsula, and north to Ireland, Wales and England. Older sources claim its range to extend further eastwards, but this seems to be based on misidentifications of related and very similar species. It is also found in southern Canada and throughout the United States. Source
