NE.London moth for ID? (1 Viewer)

[KenM]

Am struggling with this moth, as it seems to fall between Silver and Beautiful Golden Y, however it would be too late for the latter and doesn’t look quite right for the former?

Cheers

Golden Twin-spot?

Golden Twin-spot?

Would conform on date occurrence Phil, however amongst other things (it’s got an extra spinal tuft, could they be that variable?)

Have researched the Golden Twin-spot family of moths and amongst the images I found a NA species called Soybean looper moth! which seems to fit structurally?….any comments welcome.

Cheers

I think Golden Twin-spot too. A couple of it's close relative Tunbridge Wells Gem have been caught recently, but don't believe it's that.

Yes,thanks guys….very pleased indeed! apart from being (for me) a first, I almost didn’t image it, due to me thinking in the dark that it was a SilverY.😮 👍🍷
