Aberrant Plain Golden Y?

Please reassure me that this (trapped Disley, 21st July) is an aberrant Plain Golden Y (Autographa jota) and not Dewick's Plusia (Macdunnoughia confusa).

I'm sure you are right David, if that was in our trap it would go down as Plain Golden Y too.. worn, and consequently odd-looking.

Thanks, Steve. I never get that lucky and, in any case, it's a bit early for Dewick's P.
