Hi,
Photographed a few moths that attended our moth trap on Monday night in West Sussex.
Could anybody please confirm ID's.
I think one of them could be Pug, but came up with three possible species:
Triple-spotted - But does not clearly have three spots...
Pauper
Brindled
The moth does not appear to have very many distinguishing marks.
Thanks in advance.

Not good with most pugs, but the first could be very worn common swift given the shape and I can just about make out faint markings
Cheers all,

I'd agree on Common Swift for the first. The pug is very worn, I'm not sure whether you'd be able to get a 100% id on it, but if I'd say it's a Brindled Pug.
