Noted the browner one flying around me when I was half way up a mountain ( over 1000ft) in the south west highlands of Scotland last week. When it landed, I noticed the other one which was smaller. Not sure if a mating is taking place. Don't know too much about moths. Are these two colour morphs of the same species or is one colour male and one female. Any help appreciated.

They're called 'Common Heath', Colin.
