Agree this is Hellinsia - how big was it?

Sorry, that last species possility should say Hellinsia for the genus, as with the first. Hellinsia balanotes is a large plume moth, but there are so many species of plume moth, that I am not 100% which this one is. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellinsia_balanotes

Looks like Hellinsia species, but I'm not sure. Maybe Hellinsia homodactylus or Hellsinia balanotes?
