Is this Nemapogon cloacella?

I spotted this micro flying around my kitchen yesterday evening and managed to pot it. The fw measures 7mm. It is not a moth I have seen before, but am I correct in thinking it is Nemapogon cloacella (Cork Moth)?

    Hi Steve, it might be cloacella but doesn't look quite right to me. I think it is worth hanging on to in case it turns out to be granella.

    Thanks Dave. Having looked at some additional pictures on the web, it does look more like granella I think, but I shall keep it for checking.
