Chloroclysta citrata/truncata. From that angle I can't tell which. The flight time could give a clue, but I'm not familiar with their times in GB.

Common Marbled Carpet (Chloroclysta truncata) flies from August-October in UK where as Dark Marbled Carpet (Chloroclysta citrata) flies from July-August. eddie17, when was the image taken?

Thanks JKT.

Flight-time is no guide - both fly from May into early November in two generations. Dark Marbled Carpet normally shows a more dentate (jagged) trailing edge to the median line, and often has extensive white patches; it is decidedly less common than Common Marbled in the south but often replaces it in northern England and Scotland. The moth in this picture is a classic Common Marbled by coloration.
