Very docile and missing part of a leg.
Some additional images of the moth's underside and antennae have been added in sighting 4228426 to hopefully help with identification.

My suggested ID is based on the 4th image which gives a reasonably sharp view of the antennae, suggesting to me its a male O. dirempta based on reference images MoV give in their supporting CD to Part 6 on Oxycanus identification.

This is a female O. silvanus, based on its forewing shape and colour/pattern and the clearly pectinate antennae.

OK, but the key for Oxycanus in MoV6 shows male O.dirempta having short pectinate antennae which I thought looked likely.
