Odd Small Quaker I'd think, inasmuch as they don't usually seem to have an oval as well as a kidney, but some (eg quite a few labelled as SQ on Norfolk Moths) do seem to show one to a greater or lesser degree.
Odd Blossom Underwing would seem to be the only other option, but I'm finding making that fit much tougher going.
Be interesting to see what others think.
 
Looking in Lewingtons, the nearest match I could find was a totally out of the question Powdered Rustic, apart from occurence rarity, the date would be extremely early.😮👍

Looking again, I’m now inclined to agree with you, Small Quaker is almost a racing certainty.👍
