Clouded Drab? Banbury

I'm struggling with the moth below. My guess is it's just another Clouded Drab but it seems so much different than other examples that I catch. Stockier shape, rounded wing-tips, no obvious sub-terminal line without any blotches. Any ideas please? FW 13mm




With a more typical Clouded Drab, right.

    It is a Red Chestnut, Tim

    Thanks, Dave. I've been so fixated on quakers I neglected to look through the rest of my field guide!

    New species for me so I'm very happy with that.
