Tortrix query

I had this colourful small tortix come to the garden trap on Friday night, but I am struggling to put a name to it. Any help much appreciated.

    Hello Steve,
    That is Eudemis profundana, which does vary a lot compared to the single image in the field guide. Some are nice and colourful (like yours), but sometimes the wings can be almost entirely black.

    Many thanks Dave. A moth I have had before, but as you say it comes in various guises.
