User's notes
I apologise for the poor photo quality. I was attracted to this moth as it flew in the garden due to its rich colour, but when it landed it hung suspended upside down on a moving stem, and proved a challenge to get an pics at all.

It's not possible to be certain, but it seems to be Endotricha ignealis

On review, the shape of the costa supported by the scarcely visible transverse lines on the forewing show that it is E. pyrosalis.
