| | | Re: A Tortrix & a Micro for ID please. I think the following link shows the first species: CalPhotos: Cydia splendana
The authors have identified it as Cydia splendana. Not sure if it is, but I think I have seen the same labelling on a German site.
HTH
EDIT I also have a suggestion for the second. How about Gelechia senticetella?

| | | Re: A Tortrix & a Micro for ID please. Cydia splendana was one I thought it could be, but the dark patch near the wing ends doesn't seem to have that shape on any of the photos on Hants Moths, but I'm not sure Grapholita funebrana has it either! Could be the dark patterns have joined up, it does look closer anyway and is a good match to the one on flickr if that is correct. Hants Moths - 1260 Cydia splendana
There's some that are close on Lepidoptera of Belgium.. Lepidoptera of Belgium: Cydia splendana
Gelechia senticetella certainly looks a good candidate too! Gelechia senticetella - UKMoths
