Collect some specimens for confirmation. Overall colour seems to be rather pale for that species but perhaps its teneral.

thanks Paul for your comment...the color is to pale because of overexposure while taking pictures.
With outdoor photography you
often overexpose due to little light..and if you do not change that , while light is good again, you get this..see the leafs ought to be green :)
Concerning the collecting of specimen: seen it once and never again...that comes along with a rather rare species, I guess :) ..but I'm looking out for it
greetings , Chris

Considering the number I have collected on the windows in our museum I'd say it is not rare in our area...
