Two Micros for ID (1 Viewer)

aka Gan***face
Hi a couple of micros that i have struggled with. Caught in a trap in west Scotland.
Could the first be a Spindle Ermine?The only other Ermine that I have caught is Bird-cherry. And i have no idea about the second. Possibly the angle of the photograph isn't helping.

Thanks again
Dougie

The ermine could be one of several possibilities, really needs dissection to take it further. The other is Endothenia quadrimaculana.
