Attractive tortrix for ID and a few for confirmation (1 Viewer)

These are from a largish catch on 16th July.

Annoyed I can't find the pretty tortrix but I'm sure someone will be put me straight - please. The others I'll put up for confirmation and I think they are:
Udea prunalis
Trachycera advenella
Cloaked Minor - bit tricky this one and I wouldn't have got this from Waring. One of the few occasions I have relied on Skinner as I reckon it is a dead ringer for fig. 6 on plate 38.

Cheers

Not up to Angus' standards but 186 moths of 47 species was my busiest night so far. Thought I would just share this White Satin pic as I thought it was quite an impressive beast. As is the ichneumon (Netellia testaceus), which is a common visitor to the light trap and is a parasite on moth larvae.

Hello Brian,
For your unknown Tortricoid have a look at Blastethia buoliana. It's so variable that Bradley illustrates 4 specimens. Now known as Rhyacionia buoliana I think this is it.

Agree with Jamie on #1 and with you on no.2. Won't attempt 3 & 4, and my Cloaked Minor was similar with less distinct markings.
