One for Identification.
I thought that this might have been Caloptilia elongella.
Help came from UKMicromoths with this note from Eamonn ?.
"Ithink it may be C. rufipennella. It appears to show a whitish band around the top part of the leg, albeit faint, but that is a feature of rufipennella."
Having looked at other pictures this would seem to be the species.
The first Toadflax Pug of the year. No Langmaid's Yellow Underwing, they are always early in the Lesser Broad-bordered cycle.

I'm not all sure about this plume, possibly a worn acanthadactyla - confirmed as acanthadactyla by Colin Hart.
