Seen just before dusk. Rather cold.

I don't think enough is visible of this moth to identify it. It doesn't seem to have the longish, thin and divergent labial palpi of Chionogenes (Yponomeutidae)

Perhaps you could check your specimen, you did catch this one just after I photographed it ;)

Thank you Christine. It's not much use taking a specimen because you think a photo alone will be hard to identify and then you forget you have the specimen, but that;s what happened. It's rather worn by the time I spread it out. It is a Tortricinae, and will be hard to identify to species.
