For me, it is difficult to distinguish between the two.
I guess for a grown up girl it should be девушка.

Please tell me if I am wrong.

Yes, девушка. You may call her девочка but that word usually bears either a very intimate (when addressing her directly in private) or a scornful meaning.
Девочки referring to a grown up girls may be used also to refer to a group of prostitutes.

Девушка is all right.
