Anyone able to identify this moth that I saw yesterday while at RAF Lossiemouth, not taking photos of aircraft obviously!

De Havilland maybe ?

I'm no expert but a quick look at my British Wildlife book suggests, by the squiggly mark on the wing, that it might be a Silver Y, a migrant visitor from southern Europe usually seen May-October.

Thanks. Seems to tie in with what someone else has said.

Another vote for Silver Y.
