Hi everyone, I think the brown one may be a light brown apple moth. I do not know what the light one is.
Thanks for any help, Pam

Just to add the latin for Willow Beauty (Peribatodes rhomboidaria) is a clue to identifying it. The species name contains 'rhomboid' and if you look underneath the forewing in each outer corner there is always a pale Rhomboid shape. You can actually see it on the upper wing in your photo on the right wing.

A little tip someone passed on and saved me a load of head scratching time.
