Tricky micro

There's some hint of improvement after a long, quite fallow spell here in Wolvercote, Oxfordshire; but it would still be good to see a really warm, cloudy, still night. One species from the 22nd which I haven't pinned down is this micro - apologies for the quality of the photos - which, at 6-7mm, seems to tick some of the boxes for Gyposnoma oppressana; any other thoughts as to possible identification?

    Looks like one of the darker forms of Spilonota ocellana to me, Steve.
