Three Moths
Can anyone help me with these three?
The first one I'm fairly sure is "The Snout" Hypena proboscidalis The other two are just confusing me after being through my books several times.

At first glance, I've no idea on #2 - I don't recognize it all.
Have a look at 6-striped Rustic for #3 - but it's only a guess. |

That second moth is a pug-like thing if that helps anyone.

Not knwing size for #2, but the wings look transparent, so Muslin footman could be a possibilty, but I've never seen one with a dark discal spot, so that may well exclude this species. No other ideas atm. Edit:- No can't see it being Muslin Footman, never seen one at rest like that, I think its wings are more rounded as well. I'd go for a very worn (washed) Small Fan-footed Wave.

Thanks everyone. Yes, that will be it. There's a nice pic of one from Finland with a similar colour here:
