Took a break from swotting up on my Dutch and polishing my brass neck to photograph this moth at Scatsta Airport 6 days ago. Anyone ID it?

Hi, Roger! Epirrita sp.. Very difficult to ID from photo. Wanna try a little bit German?  http://www.lepifo...;read=2154 (also pictures)

Thanks Juergen, I think I'll stick to English, got in enough bother trying Dutch  , without upsetting Germany too  .I've looked back on last years Moths, and found this same type, I sent a photo off to the local recorder who reckoned it to be E.autumnata but really needed to check the genitalia to be sure. I promised to capture a specimen for him this year as they are an unrecorded species in Shetland...maybe next year  Regards Roger |
