Moth id

This Moth fluttered past me and landed on a fence. It obligingly let me take some photos then flew off. It's guide large about 20-25mm.

Thanks in anticipation

    Looks like Crysoteuchia  culmella, its best with these grass moths if you can get a side on shot as well

      Thank you very much. I eventually come to the same conclussion myself. I also realised I had got a picture of one side on on some grass. I find many moths hard to distinguish so it's great to get a confirmation.
