Shoulder Stripe?

I too put my trap out last night with the warmer weather arriving. I caught March Moth 3, Pale Brindled Beauty 2, Small Brindled Beauty 1, Oak Beauty 1, Satellite 1 and what I think is a Shoulder Stripe. Am I correct?
I was so pleased to catch an Oak Beauty, they certainly live up to their name!

    Hi Peter, I've updated the post with a photo of the small Brindled Beauty. Sorry it's not a very good one!

    Very nice. Small Brindled Beauty is not all that common in gardens so you must have some decent oak woodland nearby.

    Thanks Dave. Yes there are a few mature Oaks that are in the mixed woodland that backs onto my garden.
