I would agree, but, webbing clothes moths do not have the dark spots on the wings like your specimen has. My guess would be the casemaking clothes moth. This is less common but it is out there. The larva carry around a silken case from which they feed from and will retreat inside when disturbed. You may also find empty cases from larva that have left the case and have moved into the adult stage. Hope this helps.

You should consider thoroughly checking your collection's protein fibers (wool, feathers, fur are the biggest dangers).
