My suggestions are as follows:

1, Clay
2, Mottled Beauty
3, ?? Rather worn but to my surprise it didn't have a yellow underwing!

Ooh, that does look a possibility, it had a lot of white on the underwing too. But that seems to be a bit of a mega. Any other suggestions/possibilities?

From the markings I think it might be a very dark Dark Sword-grass - but doing a very good impression of Alchymist!

Yes that looks a good bet. The previous photo is a good rendition of the colour of the animal but this one shows the markings better and they do appear to be consistent with dark Dark Sword-grass.

Thanks all,

Stuart
