Orange Footman ?? Help with ID please

[jaybie]

After looking on the UK Moths site I think this may be an Orange Footman - Eilema sororcula. Is this right?



Any help gratefully received.

Hi

I'd say it was a Dingy Footman

Yes it's the pale form of Dingy Footman

Cheers,

I have done a bit more searching and found there is a form of Dingy Footman ab. stramineola which closely matches. I have only seen the grey ones with pale yellow borders to the wings so didn't think of Dingy Footman. Orange Footman seemed closest even though it was much brighter but I have learned something new

Thanks for the input, JohnB
