Garden Dart?

Among the many Square-spot Rustics captured on Monday night (2nd) was this specimen which looked different - it perhaps has a slight 'club' and relatively narrow forewings as shown below in comparison to a Square-spot (the latter taken last year and chosen for its similarities in overall size, colour and time of capture). Online images of Garden Darts don't seem to look much like this specimen, but the Guide description is plausible. Grateful for any comments, as usual.

    Hello John,

    I'd suggest that was a Turnip.

    Thanks, Dave. I was looking at it again myself and just about to post a comment that it might also be a Turnip!
