I realised I'd posted these photos as 2 different moths, so have combined them as 1 record - the same individual. I deleted the other post.

In MOV9 disc, P.4 is pale, has only the single white mark not two,, but has a reddish patch, and a black collar. Not a good match. To me: the streaky wings suggest Hadeninae.

Opps I just had another look and they're different individuals - so should I remove and repost the one with its wings open?
