I have not recorded these 2 species so thought I should post for approval or otherwise!

Pyrausta purpuralis (rather brown & faded)

Aspilapteryx tringipennella

Hi Mike,
I think you are right on both moths, I had my first Aspilapteryx tringipennella recently confirmed by Steve - see separate post & that looks pretty much identical to yours - I don't think there is any similar species.
