Ok, I've stuck another image of another moth of this taxa, at bit fresher, from 10 Nov 24 - certainly no white shoulder as in Endrosis. Yes the dark spots on the forwings look small for Hofmanophila, so that does not fit perhaps 100%, but it was the best I could come up with.

I think the 1st photo is Endrosis sarcitrella and the 2nd Hofmannophila pseudospretella.
