More unknown garden moths

Hi all

Here are yet more tricky (and worn out) moths from my garden. I have got through most of the traps which were pretty much all Large Yellow Underwings. But there are a few I cannot sort out. I have been through Townsend and Waring and eyeballed the Pyralids at UKmoths to no avail. Any help will be great appreciated.

I think this is a Sycamore:

I think 1 is a Sycamore. 2 could be Least Yellow Underwing rather than Lesser. Number 3 I'm not sure about, when I follow the link the picture appears very small? And number 4 I'm not sure of either, but could be a Marbled Green.

Hi Guy/Wildifesnapper,

Very many thanks for the rapid replies. I meant Least Yellow Underwing - apologies - as to the others I was lost. Number 3 (?garden dart) was about 12-14mm long head to wing tip.

Thanks again.

Cheers
Jon

1,2,3 I would agree with the others with Marbled Beauty as the other as suggested by wildlifesnapper. The small image, I doubt if it is possible to ID.
