I had thought that this one might be a Smokey Wave, but Dave on UKbutterflies.co.uk identified it as a Mother of Pearl - Pleuroptya ruralis, a micro moth on steroids, as it is the same size if not bigger than many macro moths.:)

Really nice shot - there are a lot of moths about but they hide a lot :)
I've got a moth that I thought may be a MoP, but the colour is more cream and the patterning more defined, although that same sort of patterning.... fairly sure it's not a wave though.
Great shot Rolf. Well spotted :)
