Moth

Description:

Length approx. 20mm. Wings had an almost metallic sheen to them, but colouring was very grey/brown. The second photo I picked the leaf up the moth was on so I could turn it around to take a photo of the face. The third photo was when I put the leaf back down - it started vibrating its wings at me (motion just visible on the photo)! Looking at the face, possibly a snout moth but I don't know.
