Dancersend micros?

Some micros photograped yesterday during the day at Dancersend. I'm reasonably happy with my id of the first two as Epinotia demarniana, but the third one had me beaten for a while despite having such clear markings. Then I thought - not a micro. Is it a Marbled White Spot?

    Hi Mick, close but no cigar! The first is an Epiblema from the group scutulana/cirsiana/sticticana and really needs dissection to get to species. You might be correct with the second which does appear to be resting more like an Epinotia, but demarniana normally shows an obvious white head. The third is indeed a macro, Marbled White Spot!
