Could be Willow Beauty? Willow Beauty Peribatodes rhomboidaria - UKMoths

Thanks nicola, I looked at them both in chris manley's "british moths" and the photo of the oak beauty seemed to match mine, but then I have been known to be wrong on numerous occasions, lol, many thanks, Richard.

I would say you're right this time Richard!

I'd say Willow Beauty too. Any wingspan sizes at all?

Looks more like a Willow Beauty to me too. I've had a few Great Oaks, and the first thing that strikes you when you see one is "wow, that's a big Willow Beauty". They're quite grey in comparison too.

Thanks Pete and Adam, I must bow to experience, I had hoped I was right, but better luck next time, cheers Richard,
