Needs a closer image, Martin, to be able to see the markings more clearly, but it looks quite similar to the picture I uploaded yesterday. Could be a dark Ancylosis oblitella which might even be a first for VC23 or else Pyla [Matilella] fusca which I suspect is more likely even though it is an uncommon species. The latter feeds on heather but none of the few Bucks records are from anywhere near heathland.
