Wednesday Night at Maenol

I feel almost embarrassed to follow Jane's post describing her remarkable catch on Tuesday night, but I need some help so here goes.  Nothing out of the ordinary turned up here, although it was nice to see the pine-feeding gelechid Exoteleia dodecella again:


One noctuid is giving me some id problems though, it's one of the Dart group I think:


The only Darts I've seen here regularly are H&D and Double Dart, although I have had Turnip Moth once, in 2015.  Could this one be a small TM?  If so it's not a male because the hindwings were dull grey-brown, not pearly white, and the antennae weren't feathered.  Might it be a Heart and Club?  Perhaps someone will be able to say one way or the other, I'd be grateful for any advice.

  1. Consensus of opinion from Facebook Group is female Turnip Moth. I'm happy with that and will record it as such.
