| |  Please ID Beautiful Moth
Is there someone with more knowledge on this lovely moth who can offer an ID? 
I think this is an Autographa moth species, but do not know if it is a 'Silver Y', 'Beautiful Golden Y' or a 'Plain Golden Y'. 
All images are of the same moth. 
Found in my garden last weekend, 14th September 2008. 
Sorry about some loss of focus, but vibrating wings were not helping 
Many thanks.

Naturegirl will help more than I can, but I think it's the Silver Y, Autographa gamma.
It's a nice range of illustrative images. |

Bless you Jason!
I concur that it is a Silver Y!
I have not seen these in numbers this year that I have in previous years!

I have been trapping these since late June when I trapped four in a couple of hours. From then on I have caught at least one on each trapping, culminating in six trapped last Friday night.
BTW this is a migrant and some years they can irrupt in large numbers. This is not one of those years as yet.
