looks like a Plain Wave Idaea straminata,Goldie. I'm sure someone else on here can confirm or correct me :)

I think Cream Wave Scopula floslactata is a good match, but I haven't seen this species. The third cross line seems to have the right waviness.

Thanks Bugboy and Essex Bertie, I checked the Moth names you gave me and it showed me Five different Moth's in that category, I've compared my moth to them and the Cream Wave does seem the nearest.

It's good when you've got a name to put in :D, you get an instant picture, Thanks very much again Goldie :D
