This was in the trap this morning. I thought it may be a Brindled Beauty or an Oak Beauty, but my book says they don't fly this month. Can you I/D it please?

Pale Brindled Beauty. Usually has a more greenish ground colour but they are variable.

Thanks for the I/D.
Here's one I had over the weekend. So confusing when they're so different! and I think they're both males
