I think it's one of the very variable Mottled Umbers... this one was on the wall outside today....

Thanks for the id Paul and I think you could be right but I have just seen Graeme Lyons blog about an male Early Moth in the door way of the local bookies:

Bit difficult for me to tell them apart, was my photo a Mottled Umber or an Early Moth?

It is Erannis defoliaria (Mottled umber).
