| | | Dusky Sallow
Saw this one flying about by day on flowery chalk grassland at Brush Hill in Bucks.
I would be grateful if anyone can identify this one for me.
Thanks

Having done a bit more research I wonder if this could be a Dusky Sallow. Doesn't have the chequered edging to the wing - but otherwise looks right.
Any thoughts? |

Any thoughts? | According to my book this is one of a few similar looking moths. It is similar to the Dusky Sallow but as you say not fringed, also the dark band is a bit broken and too pale. It will take an expert to decide this one.
