Confirmations/corrections sought please

I caught these tricky beasts in the trap in my Sonning garden last night and would welcome confirmation of my id. I have had all three pugs before and the size and shape were right for the species which I think they are. The micros are both new for me.


                                                               Zeiraphera isertana ?

                                                                   Zeiraphera isertana ?

Dichorampha spp ?

White-spotted Pug ?

Brindled Pug ?

Oak-tree Pug?

    Hi Alastair, the photo of the Dichrorampha is good and shows the grey outer edge of the cilia, so I think it is D. acuminatana.

    Pugs are Common, Oak-tree and Grey, in that order.
