A trio of queries

I thought I would be able to ID this but I can't. The hindwing is as dark as the forewing. F/w 20mm.


On the other hand, I knew from the start I wouldn't be able to ID these. The first 2 images are the same moth.

    Hi Dave,

    I'm not sure what the noctuid is either, so if you've still got it could you hang on to it for the moment please? Of the micros the first is rather too anonymous to be sure of but I suspect maybe Bryotropha terrella or something like Scrobipalpa acuminatella. The last one is Bryotropha affinis.

    Hi Dave

    I have retained the moth. Many thanks for your efforts.

    Hi Dave
    It's a Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwing. I don't know why I couldn't see the yellow. Apologies.
    Dave
