 This one is easy.
Reddish lateral spots and closed topcell equals Eriothrix rufomaculata.
Very common indeed in July - August.

 The topcell is the cellin the wing that ends near the wing tip.
When it is closed, like here, it does not reach the wing border.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
