Hi Alan, The first two images are of a Pale Pinion. June records are not unheard of but these over-wintered moths have usually expired by the end of May. Checking the flight time for Yellow-line Quaker should have rung alarm bells for your next moth, which is actually an Ingrailed Clay. To be fair, it is a highly variable species and often causes ID problems. The other two are, of course, correct.
