Again, to me, the overall grey colour and the strongly curved fine line joining at the costa suggests D. gerula.

Looking at the note for identifying Pantydia (genus) provided by MoV (Part 8) I don't think it matches P. canescens due to the lack of a 'post-medial line which sweeps up, away from the termen' which MoV illustrate for both sexes. The moth is not strongly marked and has an overall reddish appearance. It's faint but there appears to be a break in the main transverse line which suggests P. diemeni (MoV). MoV say a reddish appaearance is consistent with a male P. diemeni.
