Northern Winter Moth? (1 Viewer)

Anyone confirm this for me or otherwise?

Wing shape better for this species rather than an Epirrita I think?

St Petersburg, last night, an unseasonally mild spell is seeing lots of insects on the wing. I'll have to resurrect my moth light as it got pretty cold and nasty and I actually took it down, this flew in through the kitchen window.

Thanks Richard, I got six moths last night, all seemed to be the same species.

Here are three that I could be bothered to photograph, the centre shot seems to show a slightly different shape to the wing tip?
