Looks like a member of the Crambidae family to me.

Structurally, it looks nearer to one of the Chilo type species to me.
How big was it?

I saw this species for the first time on Saturday in an icehouse in Beds. Sent a pic to the county recorders (Andy and Melissa Banthorpe) who identified it as Buttoned Snout, and agreed that your pic is of the same species.
