It is probably a Mottled Umber going by the fact that it was found on heathland. Scarce Umbers (from my knowledge of them) are more restricted in their habitats to broadleaved woodland. However, it looks pretty worn to me and I wouldn't like to say definitely that it's not a Scarce Umber  I'm sure someone will be able to say more definitively. |

I have to say, I wasn't happy saying either way as the specimen looks quite worn and i thought I could see features of both. Interesting |

Here's my Mottled Umber from last night, I tried to upload it earlier but it didn't show. Note the lower band shape.  |

I'd say Scarce Umber. Looks like there might be a few around at the moment, I have three in my trap right now.
edit: make that six!

Yes Scarce Umber, although don't be fooled by the name, Mottled in some areas is found in lower density. | | |
