Quite a distinctive, small, moth with a coppery, sheen, anyone know what it is?

Might be: Mompha langiella ?

Thanks,
I don't think that quite fits, M. miscella Brown Mompha is the only Mompha on the list here and it looks nothing like this. I'll follow this up because if it is a Mompha, it could well be a new Cyprus record?

It would be to the very extremes of it's range, but I can't think of anything similar. Keep us updated!

I've had a tentative ID of Scythris inclusella which would require dissection for confirmation, I can't find any images for comparison.
