@WendyEM Thanks for the identification, Wendy. What is it that I should look for to confirm this type of moth is a male or female? Colour, type of markings, antennae?

In this case it is the thread like antennae, male's are plumed. The trouble is it varies moth to moth.
BTW there is some nice lichen in your shot, 3+ I think you might also submit.
