    Looks like Angle Shades (Phlogophora meticulosa).

    Hi

    Your moth is Burnished Brass - if you go to www.caithnessmoths.org.uk/burnishedbrasspage.html you will find more information about its status in Caithness.

    There are two distinct forms which may prove to be different species.

    Regards

    Pterodroma

    I caught 28 Burnished Brass last night so I have up dated the Burnished Brass page on the Moths of Caithness website by adding an extra photo so that both forms are now illustrated.

    Visit www.caithnessmoths.org.uk/burnishedbrasspage.html for details.
