Pyrale for ID

Not much excitement in Longwick last night but this pyrale was interesting. Is it a Sitochroa species or one of the other families? Help appreciated! F/L about 16mm.

    Is it not Udea ferrugalis?

    It appears too large and lacks the usual oval markings?

    European Corn-borer?

    That was my first thought - but started to have doubts !

    I agree, it looks to me like a washed-out Ostrinia nubilalis.

    Maybe there was some excitement after all! Thanks for discussion. In the trap it looked like nubialis- then I just doubted the more I looked through the literature.
