Agriphila selasella?

I wanted to check if this moth is Agriphila selasella, rather than the more common tristella.
Thanks in advance, Steve Trigg, Cookham

    Hello Steve,
    Yes, that is selasella. The white stripe isn't pinched in the middle and it is underlined with black scales. The moth seems to have undergone quite an expansion over the past seven or eight years, such that I'd expect most gardens in our area will get it now.
