I am quite excited. I think that this could be a Portland Ribbon Wave caught 'on' my trap.
It looks to me quite distinctly different to Riband Wave, note the blend of colour from the band toward the head and the orangy top of the wing.
I have no experience with this species, but you might.
Many thanks for looking.

I have no experience of the species, but surely it has got to be Portland Ribbon Wave. Nice!

Confirmed

A first for VC34 and a first for the Bristol area!
