ID updated. I think it may be a Common Footman moth (Eilema lurideola), but not sure...

Or is it a Dingy Footman (Eilema griseola) ?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eilema_griseola

It looks like a Common Footman moth (Eilema lurideola)... But this photo was taken in England: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7322586@N06...

Could this be a Bicolored Moth (Eilema bicolor)?
