Pinky red moth, black band, pink dot

Early hours of this morning I saw what I expect was a moth, pinky red in colour with a black band on its wings with a pinky red dot within the black band. Don't think it was a cinnabar moth judging from photo's I've looked at. Any ideas anyone? Never seen one like it before. Thanks

Hiya,
I've posted a pic of a Cinnabar Moth in post tonight in the 'Mothing 2011' thread.
It might help.
Your description could be so many moths.
Hope you work it out.
Please try & get a pic if you see it again.
