Found this little guy on my front door - markings look a bit like a Large Yellow Underwing, but far too small. Tks all.  |

I'd still go for a Brick. Of course, I've been wrong before... |

Hmmmm I have not caught either of them before but on looking at it I would maybe go for Chestnut. Just a gut feeling from looking at the pictures on the internet as the moth book has not helped me much! |

I have caught a few Chestnuts, not seen a Brick yet, but looking at photos, the markings don't look right for Brick. The wavy cross lines aren't visible, I would still go for Chestnut.
According to Waring & Townsend the Brick is more likely to be confused with Yellow-line Quaker and Dusky-lemon Sallow. | | | |
