Found amongst circa dozen moths in and around the trap this am, thought it looked interesting, not seen before…NEast London.

Has a look of Least Black Arches though very early for that and even more so its congeners.

Cheers John, needless to say, I never thought of looking amongst the Nolidae, such is my fixation with Noctuids at the mo!
Found the Latin…Nola confusalis…not very complimentary to moi.🤣
Certainly another lifer! well pleased…date as well.👍

Can't comment on the id (doesn't specifically match any of the photos, don't know the alternatives), but date not exceptional, if on the early side, looking at the histogram -

Least Black Arches (Nola confusalis) - Norfolk Moths

Least Black Arches (Nola confusalis) - The Moths of Norfolk. In association with the Norfolk Moth Survey.

A nice little moth ...

Agree with John- Least Black Arches. Seen quite a few photos of them recently on FB, so a fair number around currently.
