Shropshire moths

I ran my trap for the first time last night and had a few I struggled with. I know the third is probably a double square spot but struggling to rule out triple spotted clay.

1. Single-dotted Wave
2. In my view Wormwood Pug and Annulet
3. Wouldn't like to call it.
4. Agriphila tristella or A. selasella. Difficult in its worn state, but I would plump for tristella.
