For another photo showing the 'çrest 'raised behind the head, see: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/56632563.

The scale tuft isn't diagnostic. Many Tortricinae have it, eg Rupicolana orthias.

I wasn't really claiming it was diagnostic. I noticed that few photos showed a raised crest, but found one photo identified as this species that was.
