Mystery Moth

Help needed with identifying this little chap, caught two nights ago. I'm really stumped. Everything similar seems to appear at least 6 months away!! Thanks in advance.  Jane H

  1. Jane - the consensus is that it`s a pale mottled willow, as suggested previously. I sought and received the opinion of both Sam and George.
