Bad moth, bad pic (1 Viewer)

With apologies for both the state of the moth and the quality of the photo, can anyone give some pointers on this? Doesn't look like one I've had before.

It was small, probably not much more than 10mm forewing length, if that.

Surprised by the forewing measurement, as I'd be pretty sure it's a Hoplodrina sp., either The Uncertain or The Rustic. In any case, I think it's far too worn to ID, and not really worth worrying about!

I'll second that.
