Found this the other night. It's a male Pale Brindled Beauty.
"The females of the Pale Brindled Beauty are completely wingless, or apterous, a feature which is often found in moths which emerge in the winter months. Males fly from January to March, searching for the females which have climbed up tree-trunks" https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/phigalia-pilosaria/
