Moth

DateFri 2011-01-21

From last summer: a small grey-brown moth with a metallic sheen, probably  a Coleophorid moth (Lepidoptera: Coleophoridae). 

Initially had this down as a possible Glyphipterix fuscoviridella but the forked wings are not right for Glyphipterix sp.  Then I thought it might be Metriotes lutarea but that flies in May and the above moth was seen in July.

Photos taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-07-18.
