Hi Mark, you have Clay, Early Thorn, a micro for which we need a much better picture and Minor Shoulder-knot. Early Thorn, as I'm sure you will already know, is the only one which sits with its wings together in butterfly fashion like that. Care needs to be taken in separating Purple Thorn from Lunar Thorn but we are helped by the fact that Lunar Thorn is very rare if not extinct in our area.
