The moth was in hiding having been turfed out by the roller door. But I had trouble getting a photo so don't blame you for removing this sighting.

Based on thre second photo its probably E. subidaria - although the angle makes its difficult to be sure.

Amazing you could have identified it from the photos. I was intrigued by the legs, that was the only reason I decided to submit it.

Most photos of moths from above don't show the legs, so we can be somewhat surprised when we see how graceful and long they often are, and having spurs and other asppendages.
