I think this is Voria ruralis - from the acutely angled m-cu vein, the strong down-curved parafacial bristles and lack of hairs on the wing veins.

Thanks Chris, glad I double-checked this one. Here are a couple more photos in case they help turn your 'I think' into 'I'm sure'. Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [109.73Kb] |

I think this may be a different individual, but it looks to be the same sp. Photo taken a few minutes previously. Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [122.3Kb] |

Yes, that's Voria ruralis - unless Theo trumps me with something I don't know
