Two moths to check identifications

Any advice on the below appreciated:

 A) is this Aptomis turbidana?


 and is this White Line Snout? 

Thanks

    Hi Barnaby

    The first is Cochylis atricapitana and the second is Parapoynx stratiotata (Ringed China-mark). It is surprising how many times the male Ringed China-mark is misidentified - perhaps something to do with it is the fact that in the field guide it is illustrated with its wings open and might be missed on a cursory glance through the pictures!
