Larva for ID

There are quite a lot of honeysuckle leaves which are fusred together with silky sticky threads, I prised one open to see the larva better. In the first image you can just see the head. Luckily I had a container underneath as when I opened it more, the larva fell out, I did expect it to have hung by a thread but it didn't. No harm was done and I was able to put it back on another leaf - hopefully it will seal itself in.

Any idea what type of larva this is. It was about 5mm long.

I have been given an ID for this , it is a Athrips mouffetella, a micro moth of which I had adults in the garden last July.
The English have no common name for it but the Dutch call it the kamperfoeliepalpmot -Honeysuckle moth.

The funny thing is the first thing I did was check honeysuckle moth larva as I had had them in the garden previously but true to form what the British call a Honeysuckle moth is a totally different species than what the Dutch call it. Mind you, they are both right because both types of moth are found on honeysuckle .
