While variable the forewing lines on some specimens of Chrysolarentia heliacaria match the above specimen . The hindwings are important. Chrysolarentia heliacaria has quite plain hindwings, with a pale sub-terminal line - see the plain hindwings in 1st image above c.f.

as opposed to yellow/brown and much patterned hindwings of Chrysolarentia polycarpa
