I caught these two moths in mid July 2019 in Cheshire and identified them as Buff Footman. Now I'm not sure. Could anyone help me out with an ID please? #MothsMatter

It took a long time but perseverance paid off when we eventually found Caspian Plover in the vast steppe of West #Kazakhstan. A great addition to my group’s Western Palearctic lists!
