Sorry to bother again but I spotted this little character today; on the Erith Marshes (p/o the Crossness Nature Reserve) beside the Thames.
I'm assuming she/he to be a Moth.
I don't know much about Butterflies but know nothing about Moths; and don't really know where to start. Is it possible to identify her/him from this picture please?
As always, a million thanks in advance.

Hi Mike,
I think it could be a Nettle Tap moth (Anthophila fabriciana).
