For some reason I always struggle with these. This was in the trap this morning. What do you think?

Many thanks

That is a tough one Nerine. The top wing is slightly damaged in the crucial area and bottom one not quite showing enough of the termen to be 100%. I think it most likely vaccinii but wouldn't have much money on it.
 
Thanks Brian, I still have the moth so I'll tease it a bit and see if I can get a good look at the bottom wing.

I have added another photo - does this help?
I think you may be right, Brian, but I could be wrong.
