I am pretty sure about Cochylis atricapitana, but uncertain about Homoeosoma sinuella and am guessing that the Tortrix is just a variation of a common species but not sure which one. Any help much appreciated as ever....
Hi Alastair, I agree with the first two. My best guess for the third is Pandemis cerasana which has had a problem on emergence, with scales scraped off over the mid-section.
I think Dave has the correct solution. There is a fairly similar form towards the bottom of Chris Lewis's page here: https://britishlepidoptera.weebly.com/025-pandemis-cerasana-barred-fruit-tree-tortrix.html
Maybe a dark form of Aleimma loeflingiana for the mystery moth?
