 No, not a tortricid - this one is (I think!!) a worn Eudonia alpina (Pyralidae or Crambidae, depending on whether you afford family status to the crambids)

 Cheers Tony,
I've sent this and a few other images of the same Moth to UK Moths. They don't have a photo* of Eudonia alpina in their site. So hopefully I'll get a yea or nay on ID from them quite soon.

Regards Roger

*Trawled through all the families I thought this belonged to..Frown.no wonder I couldn't find it...

 Well just got confirmation from Ian Kimber at UK Moths that this is indeed Eudonia alpina. It will be on his site, and I've asked him to credit determination to you Tony @ Dipter.info..hope that's OK.

Regards Roger
