Mystery moth from the 20th.

Here is a photo of my mystery gelechid moth from the other day, managed to get some decent shots of it this afternoon, not easy, a very flightly little b******d!
My thoughts are that it is Scrobipalpa atriplicella. If it is that it would be a new moth for me. Other opinions welcomed.

    S. atriplicella seems the most likely candidate to me Neil. I recall it as being a very spotty Scrobipalpa with any patterning difficult to discern.

    Hi Neil – Not sure if you’ve come across these yet but there is a selection of atriplicella photos on the German Lep’s site: http://www.lepiforum.de/lepiwiki.pl?Scrobipalpa_Atriplicella
