Tephrochlamys sp. Some characters are invisible, so it cannot be identified to the species level

Thanks Andrzej! I have a few more photos of this; what features would you need to go further? |

Thanks Andrzej, I'll have a look at the other photos, but I think I struggled to get a good dorsal shot. |

Sorry Andrzej, here's another terrible photo. It is from the same place as the other (within 10 metres), this time on Nov 23. I wondered if it might be the corresponding male. Not much left of the wing, but you can see a darkened cross-vein. One day I'll spend some money on macro flash gear Stephen. Stephen R attached the following image:  [97.63Kb] |

Thank you Andrzej! I wasn't expecting success from such a bad photo  Is the first one consistent with flavipes too? |
