Close, but markings look different to me..., but I am not sure. As I wrote before: nightmare...

Thanks for the feedback, Bayucca, I might have another pic. Let me see.

Phaecasiophora confixana is an eastern US species and probably not found in California. Markings look different as well but all these Tortricidae are actually a nightmare to ID. Do you have any other picture of it? http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=2771
