I need help with this one. It should be included in the silhouettes guide. Looked like a minature yellow bat or a stealth wing moth!

Thank you
Thank you Hannah, looks good to me, all the markings are in the right place. This is the first one of these I've ever seen. I couldn't stop taking photos of it.
