Hi David, Marbled Brown is correct. The on-line Atlas tells you that the moth usually gets going in early May these days but there are some records from April too, perhaps suggesting that its flight period is creeping forwards from what was originally published in the field guide.
Thanks, Dave - part of a pattern of earlier emergence, then. I'm wading through some micro photos from April 30th. Will post some for ID-ing if I get stuck - which I will!! Best wishes David
