ID’s please

 This is my first post, and I’m looking for confirmation of two tentative ID’s of moths caught in my Robinson trap in Wheatley this morning.  The first I’ve marked, very tentatively, as Lead-coloured Drab (?) and the second as Red Chestnut. Comments welcomed.

  1. Hello Richard,
    The second one (Red Chestnut) is correct, quite a well-marked specimen. However, the first image shows a Powdered Quaker which has just started flying over the past week.

  2. Hi Richard,
    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has trouble with Lead-coloured Drab - see John Thacker's helpful comments under my recent post 'Still looking'. And congratulations on your Red Chestnut - never seen one yet! Best wishes, David
