Can someone kindly ID this moth, please. Was found in an inclosure that is prime Silver-Studded Blue territory.

Unidentified moth. New Forest 30/06/2021

I'm no expert but my guess is Pempelia palumbella usually found on heather. https://www.norfolkmoths.co.uk/micros.php?bf=14420 but I'm usually wrong.

Thanks John! Looks plausible - here's the brief Hants Moths page https://www.hantsmoths.org.uk/species/1442.php, and everything 'fits' (flight period, location).

Cheers, Jon
