It’s possible, although the wings are normally more dark bronze-coloured. M. aruncella is the confusion species, the female doesn’t have distinctive white fascia of the male, so can be confused with M. calthella. If it has purple-colouring at the base of the wing then it will be M. aruncella. M. calthella is much the commoner species it appears.
