Llangynwyd today.

I'm stuck on this Tortrix. Any ideas?
Argyresthia brockeella.
Also - A. bonnetella, A. retinella and Hedya nubiferana.

    The Tortrix is quite large with rounded greeny gold wings. The underwings look darkish. Beaten from Blackthorn on edge of the wood. Reminds me of a plain Ptycholoma lecheana...

    I think it is lecheana.
