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