I would say that it's the Mother of Pearl Moth Pleuroptya ruralis. A micromoth that's mentioned at the front of the Field guide to UK moths

I actually remember seing several and they all looked "worn", I am wondering if this is their natural condition? |

My pic is of one Fresh from a moth trap, and they really look pearlescent. But only of the light is right
