Thanks for your comment Daniel, but this little critter was just resting on the window.
(My photography skills/ camera are too primitive for a mid-flight photo!! :-) )

Thanks so much for the ID Andrea! I had a previous spotting which I thought was a White antenna wasp moth, but it had yellow wings (see link below)... Do you happen to know if they're actually the same species?
