Aberrant Barred Sallow

I got this a month ago, only now working my way through the records - this Barred Sallow seems to conform to the aberrant form in this link http://ukmoths.org.uk/species/tiliacea-aurago/adult-aberration/

  2. For Barred Sallow this form does appear quite regularly and I've seen quite a few of them this year. Rather more rare in the UK is the red form of Centre-barred Sallow which I've only seen the once, back in 2010, and it looked so 'different' that I ended up writing a note about it for Ent Rec (Jan/Feb 2011 issue).
