Burnet moths

We have had loads of Six Spot Burnets this year. The recent warm dry spell has seen them all over the fields. I spotted one Burnet on Knapweed that was very faded and worn but looked like it might be the Narrow Bordered Five Spot Burnet that I occasionally see here. It's difficult to be sure but I think on balance that is what it is. Edit - Having seen what looks like an intermediate I am reversing my opinion and not counting this as a Narrow-bordered Five Spot!
