Mine was something under 1 cm not less that 8 mm.... but actually I'm not sure...sorry if I'm not more helpful...
Tortricidae, Olethreutinae, Olethreutini, Olethreutes arcuella. There is also an mostly identical one, Olethreutes subtilana, which is slightly smaller. Any idea of the size of yours? Looking at the more whitish area on the forewing, I am quite confident with Arcuella.
