Endotricha flammealis
The wingspan is 18 - 23 mm. The moth flies from July to August in the temperate parts of its range (e.g. in the British Isles) and is attracted to light. The caterpillars typically feed on, Common Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria) and bilberries (Vaccinium), as well as on various plant remains and on dry leaves of willows (Salix) and oaks (Quercus).
It is found in Europe and nearby regions: its range extends to Iran (via the Caucasus), to Lebanon and Syria, and to the Maghreb.

I know I have found its id, I just as sugg by bayucca, didn't wanna remove anything even the wrong one.
I don't think it is Paraponyx, you are absolutely correct with Endotricha flammealis.
Hm don't know....they are pretty common and i have found few with different markings.... but by the position can also be Parapoynx, or not?
The position is just like a Thyrididae, but I am not finding a match.
Thank you Adarsha, glad you like it!
