This caterpillar is eating my Brussel sprouts but I know it isn't a cabbage white. Any ideas anyone please?  |

Thanks everyone but particularly Lance Moseley.
I've read up on the Angle Shades moth now and apparently the caterpillars are supposed to hide during the day. This one doesn't obey the rules. It brazenly sits there eating my sprouts in bright sunlight!  |
