Day-flying micro

Micro opposite War Memorial

During a family stroll this afternoon, this micro came to my attention flying around a Holly hedge. Any thoughts please?

    This looks like Eriocrania subpurpurella (now Dyseriocrania in the micro book). Very common at the moment here with me at IGC both by day and at light. A leaf mining species on Oak.

      Thanks for this and the Pug ID too. There were plenty of large oaks above the hedge.
