Sitochroa palealis?

Very worn, but is this Sitochroa palealis? Trapped in the garden here at Stowe last night. Shape looks right, plus there is a hint of dark veins, but FL of 11-12 mm is below the quoted range of 13-16 mm, and we are on clay not chalk, so I suspect I am missing something obvious...

    Phil, it does look right, but without the characteristic black veins, which is probably due to wear. Quite a few of the Bucks records are away from the chalk.
    Might be worth keeping to have it's bits checked.

    Thanks Martin, I'll get it checked.
