Nemoria bistriaria
Hi Paul - given the presence of the thin dark cherry red terminal line at the wing fringe, this would not be Nemoria rubrifrontaria. I think rather it is Nemoria bistriaria (which I occasionally see with the white dashes on the hindwing that are visible here).

You can see good images of rubrifornataria and compare on our website here:
