Whilst sorting some old photos, I came across this from Aug 2016 at my moth light in St Petersburg. I didn't manage to ID it and still can't.

No takers?

The Notts recorder thinks it's a species not found in the UK FWIW, I've just waded through all Geometridae online and can't find it.

OK you slackers, I've got it!

My Euro contacts have ID'd this as the dark form of Carsia sororiata Manchester Treble-bar.
 
Cheers Martin,
does indeed look like my specimen, I must have given them permission to use it?

How uncommon is the dark form I wonder?
