Based solely on the deep 'V's in the outermost crossband, looks a contender for Poplar to me and I can't make out any protrusions in the rear edge of the grey band which in Sallow, is also more vertical with less of a curve?
Poplar is big by comparison to Sallow Roger, was it big, c19mm?

Roger,
I've passed this to our recorder for an opinion, she's mustard.

Would be nice for people to explain their reasoning, I certainly find these tough!

Bah humbug
Sallow for me too. Caught one last night - first in recent years so had to look closely.
Eg the double white lines third of way in from tip of forewing, whereas Poplar has more of a single stronger 'Nike' like white mark. Rounded black line bordering central grey area smoother and more curved in Poplar.
A side shot as in W @ T would probably have helped more.
