Micro bonanza, but help needed

9 Micros last night amongst a tally of 24 species last night.
I would like help/confirmation with 3 of them please.
1. Is this Homoeosoma sinuella 
2. Is this Variegated Golden Tortrix
3. Not at all sure on this one. Could it be Celypha cespitana or Orthotaenia undulana. Two photos attached of different exposure.

    Hello Tony,
    A nice collection. The first two are indeed Homoeosoma sinuella and Archips xylosteana as you suggest. The last one (two images, the second one perhaps more representative of what the moth should actually look like) is Ptycholomoides aeriferana. It isn't on my garden list and most of my records are from woodland in the Chilterns, but I do have a couple of local-ish records (Calvert and Finemere Wood) so live in hope! It is associated with larch.
