ID help, please

Six of these micros in my trap last night.  I feel I should know what they are but have had to admit defeat so would welcome assistance:


 Photo against 5mm grid square.  No discernible markings but yellow head, some of the others more so than this example.

    Hi Richard,
    It is one of the two ash-feeding Prays species. Your picture is rather on the dark side but this does look more like ruficeps than the dark form of fraxinella.

      Thanks Dave. Ah yes, of course, Prays ruficeps, I should have remembered from last year
