A tiny Moth ~ I think …..

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.

Mike ….

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

Dear Trev,
It certainly looks the part. Thanks very much ~ Mike …..
