Plume moth (1 Viewer)

My first plume moth since starting trapping a few weeks ago. I'm guessing Emmelina monodactyla, anyone confirm?

I'm sure I've seen plenty of these before but it's not until now that I've realised how beautiful and bizarre they are.

I doubt that it really can be confirmed by that photo but as it looks like one and overwinters as an adult (whilst potential confusion species largely do not) that would seem very likely.

All the best
