swallow tail for confirmation please

[kiltoncomp]

this little beauty flew into the room late last night, and posed happily for this shot before flying out again, only to return and settle on the window outside, so i have both its best sides
looked a lot better in real life than these photos show, as it was taken in artificial light conditions,
having looked through the moth Gallery (some really excellent photos in there)
i think this is a Swallowtail - Ourapteryx sambucaria , but knowing very little about moths confirmation would be good ,



Thanks,
Brian.

Yep, that's a Swallow-tailed Moth.
