Marbled Brown and a micro query

Some very nice moths came to the garden trap on Sunday night, such as Scorched Carpet and Chocolate-tip, but the highlight for me was a Marbled Brown - a new addition to the garden list.


A couple of very small micros, measuring just 4mm, also appeared in the trap. Below is a photo of one. I don't know if an identification is possible?

    Thanks Peter. I looked at the images of the adult male on the Moth Dissection website and they are a pretty good match.
