Looks like one of the Epinotia species to my untrained eye -- where, when and how big?

The photograph was taken in the West Midlands on May 15th in full sunshine with the moth being attracted to gorse blossoms. Approximate size was 15mm. I thought it was a Cydia ulicetana but am not 100% convinced.

I'd say it was certainly a Cydia sp., rather than an Epinotia, and ulicetana seems to fit the bill.
