Looks quite worn, I'm more inclined to think Nearcha (genus). possibly N. pseudophaes

The black palps and 'face' would appear to match your sighting. See here:-

Hi Christine. Yes, this is an historic sighting, so you won.t be in a position to rear it. donhe was propbaly not aware it was not a contemporary sighting. We are reviewing some sightings and trying to introduce some precision and consistency as we do so,

Geometridae (family) IMMATURE

Hi @donhe , there seems to be a difference in what you can see and what I can see for this sighting. Firstly it is from 2023 - so a bit difficult to rear it now! Secondly, it had been previously (two weeks ago) confirmed as Geometridae (family) IMMATURE, then suggested as that a few hours ago. Very weird.
