This is an expansion on Robs set of pyralids. I've included another couple of shots of Endotricha flammealis which hopefully show a little more of the distinctive character of this moth. The shape and resting position are rather unique.
Udea olivalis is a very common moth in my garden trap.
Udeal lutealis is much less common in my garden (only two records) but is common enough generally.
Note the common feature in all the pyralids shown: the antennae usually sweep back along the centre of the abdomen, converging before diverging again.
