Maybe C. nubila if the variations shown on iNat can be believed ?? Some show the coloured tinge, tufts on thorax, varous degrees of speckles across the forewing & dashes around apex and termen. They are not reinforced by BOLD (Hobern) specimens (which show interesting variations too). I've not checked description/details on Ian McMillan's Xylorictid site.

It does not have the dots on the forewing which are detailed in the description of nubila
