Help needed with a tortrix

I can't put a name to this tortrix, caught last night in the garden trap. The fw length is about 6mm. Can anyone suggest what it might be?

    Hi Steve, it might be worthwhile looking at Spilonota species for this : if so, perhaps more like S. laricana than dark forms of S. ocellana, but this might require dissection.

    Hello Steve,
    Spilonota ocellana gets my vote.
