Tricky with that photo, but I would be tempted with Agriphila straminella.
Um: jiggled the screen angle and now undecided. I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure!
Can just make out two white longtitudinal streaks, which would be good for Cr perlella
regards,
Jono

Lol. It was indeed those very streaks that pointed me towards C. perlella. I'm leaning that way (i.e. I'm inclined to agree!).

You've just made me go all Victor Meldrew in the office.

A few dodgy looks resulted. I still hadn't recovered from last night when mid-meal with some colleagues I was trying to rescue an Old Lady flying around inside a burger restaurant on the waterfront in central Bristol. As one of them commented today, I didn't look at all mad stumbling around the tables chasing a huge moth whilst telling people that it was an Old Lady!

All the best

Now that's funny!!
Expert opinion on this moth? I'm now leaning towards straminella after Sean's tupence.
