17th June 2011...Can you name this moth ?

It was too wet for the traps last night so I put on the 36watt fluorescent blacklight in the window while i was on the PC.
Amazing what turns up, even tho it was pouring down for most of the time.
Among the 17 visitors, was what I thought to be either Blastobasis lacticolella or Platyedra subcinerea, both of which are regularly found in my garden and the size is about right.
Now that I have had a closer look of the hurriedly taken pics, I don't think it is either.
I have sent pics to our County micro recorder who cannot name it at the moment.
Having checked the web images, I'm inclined to think it is maybe Depressaria badiella 674..
Anyone ???????

The wine bet.....

Good news for Captain Trappings, he has picked up an unforeseen point by default.

After my periodic checks I found that I had counted Monopis obviella twice...an obvious mistake, SO, here is the latest :-

Trent Duval.............. 251 species (154 mac, 97 mic)

Cpt. Trappings.........243 species (144 mac, 99 mic)
