Basing this very tentative ID on the swellings on the forelegs and the whitish wings, which in a similar thread ended with "probably E. chioptera".

Spent most of its time sitting on leaves of day-lilies, here settled on a daffodil. Ornamental garden.

Bosham, West Sussex.

Moment over. Thanks again!
