Swettenham Meadow Tortrix ID

Hi All
Just been here for a slightly damp walk with morning, but came across these two I can't ID. They may be the same species.
Can anyone help?
UID Tortrix 2
UID Tortrix 2

Cheers

Hi Nev

Bactra lanceolana - presumably amongst rushes ?

When you find something in the field it can help with the identity if you also note where you found it, as most micros I find tend to be on or near their foodplants.

Regards
