New Moth Species (4) - Four-spotted Footman

I was going through photos of Moths I didn't take to be identified and found one that I had assumed was the same as the Common Footman that was formally id'd. I looked it up and found it to be a Four-spotted Footman (Lithosia quadra) - a male so it doesn't actually have any spots. This is much less common and widespread than the Common Footman so a pleasing catch. It is also a very elegant Moth (apart from the bald patch!)
