Worn, but seems to fit. The lateral view shows a characteristic pair of black dots in the right position. Shows the usefulness of a lateral shot for identification,

Thanks Ian I always try for a lateral shot and also one of the eye area, although I don't always succeed. Not many moths around at the moment...
