Palloptera cf ustulata.
P. anderssoni looks similar, but in most cases lacks the spots at the wing tips.

Actually, in my experience the species look virtually identical and the markings on the wing might be somewhat helpful in the UK but in Dutch samples I did not see any difference really.

To show my point a picture of a
Palloptera anderssoni specimen I collected yesterday (ID confirmed by examination of the genitalia).
