Re: Moth ID
Its the open wallet moth, sorry couldn't resist. 
However it looks similar to an Old Lady Moth
Old Lady Moth (Mormo maura)
The Old Lady Moth is a large heavily built moth with a wing-span of 55-65mm, sometimes larger. Widespread across the UK and seen flying in July and August. Caterpillars overwinter and emerge in spring to feed on Blackthorn and other shrubs.

Re: Moth ID

In my books it looks similar but a much lighter colour.
