You are probably right Ian but what is it that made you think it is more likely M. icterogastra? I thought it was M. meliorella because of the row of dots in the middle of the forewing but it may not be an distingushing feature.

For me the shape of the white saddle is diagnostic, and the absence of black dots along its edge.
