ID help please!

Thursday produced over 50 species of macro and over 20 of micro. Help with identifying three of these below would be much appreciated.

Walking in the woods today I saw a Beautiful Snout and in the fields were lots of 5-spot Burnet moths - I need to work out which species these are and will photograph them when I can. I also saw a Humming-bird Hawk-moth. 

Photo 1 - Acleris bergmanniana?


Photo 2 - Elachista canapennella ?


Photo 3 - Crambidae family?

    The Elachista is E atricomella - not in the Fieldguide I suspect but reasonably frequent. Dark head and shape of white markings on black background are characteristic.

    The Pyralid is Pyrausta despicata, which has a knack of looking exciting! (at least, I hope it isn't sticticalis...)

    Thanks Sam, assume Phot 1 is Acleris bergmanniana?
