Blair's or Grey?

I was assuming that this arrival on Friday was a Blair's Shoulder-knot until I read Dave's latest weekly round-up, which has me wondering whether it might be a Grey. Advice gratefully received.  Otherwise things are routine here.  Martin Wainwright, Thrupp, Oxon

PS If it's possible to identify this bedraggled little scrap, that would be wonderful:

    Hi Martin,

    Your Shoulder-knot is indeed a Grey, not Blair's. Not sure what the other thing is though (presumably a tortrix so possibly Epiphyas postvittana?).

    Thanks again Dave. I think it's the first Grey I've recorded since 2013 but I suspect I've had others since and misidentified them as Blair's. Much appreciated. M
