Why is this a tineid? (I've been thinking it was going to end up "Inconclusive evidence.)

Tineola bisselliella are plain light gold moths, head a little darker gold, sometimes with some dark scaling at the base of the forewing. No sign of the longitudinal streaking showing in this one. The apex of the forewing is quite rounded, this one seems to be angular. Its head scales don't seem woolly enough for a tineid, but I'm not sure what I'm seeing. What are those two horn-looking projection from the top of the head (I think)?
