Might this be a Small Clouded Brindle?..

I think Small Clouded Brindle is the closest match I've seen, but I'm probably way off.

Thanks,

Afternoon Dannica.
It looks more like a Flounced Rustic to me.

Flounced Rustic for me too.

Cheers,

Kicking myself. I did look at it, in fact I glowered at it, for a very, very long time, but thought 'noooooo, it can't be'.

Thanks all,
Dannie

. . . And is it possible for a Small Yellow Underwing to actually have very bright orange underwings? Might this mean it is more likely a Large Yellow Underwing? Or something else entirely?

Small Yellow Underwings are very much smaller than Large Yellow Underwings. Plus Small Yellows fly from May to June so won't be around now. What you are probably seeing are Lesser Broad-bordered Yellow Underwings if they are small in size.
