Sorry to be a bother yet again (I have to start somewhere) but I saw this character earlier today on the Erith Marshes (by the tidal Thames).
Since I couldn't link it to a Butterfly I'm thinking Moth?
As always, a milllion thanks in advance.

Dear both:
Whoooooooooops. Why did I say I couldn't link it to a Butterfly!
I have had another look at my 'Britain's Butterflies' and I can see it now.
I am alas confident this won't be the last time I make a goof of myself!
Thanks very much ~ Mike ….
