These all were dark ones. See separate sighting 4627728 for comparison with brighter specimens.

I see 2 very similar O. fugalis, and a partial view of some other insect in the first and fourth photo, where are the 'dark ones'?

I'm not at all convinced that my suggestion of Lasiosticha opimella is correct.

The sub-costal yellow/brown line is not clean, its interrupted. No other yellow/brown markings on the rest of the forewing.

In this sighting the yellow/brown subcostal forewing line is not clean but is interrupted with a dark spot/s, a feature which seems to be lacking in E. chrysoporella elsewhere, , see here
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/557424-Etiella-chrysoporella/browse_photos
And this sighting is quite pale speckled grey on the rest of the forewing, whereas E. chrysoporella sightings (iNaturalist, above) show extra brown/yellow markings on the forewing.
I think this sighting is much like this one on BOLD (Hobern) classified as E. behri.
