Here is a moth I guess. When I first time saw a picture of this moth made by my friend I thought at first it is a beetle. But than I understood it looks not like a beetle by some features. It has been captured in spring wheat crop last year. Please, tell me what is it?

Coleophora sp, Coleophoridae. I think this is a disctinctive common species within the genus, but I will not risk a species in this very difficult group without knowing how many species like this exist.

I'd vote for a very widespread and common C. deauratella.
