Moth?

I may be missing the obvious here, but I've been through three different moth guides & online but I cannot find anything that matches this moth. I was sent this by a work colleague taken at Whitchurch hospital recently. Any thoughts? The reniform & the black collar don't fit with anything seen.

  1. Looks like LYU to me photographed at an oblique angle. I suspect the dark collar is a shadow caused by the patagial scales being raised slightly.

  2. That was my first impression too.

  3. It was the black collar appearance that was throwing me off, as I did look at Large YU. Cheers both & Doh! for me….
