I've looked at all the other species and none match like this does, antennae and leg colour, wing colour.

I think I should enter it as Eilema sericea, what do you think? I am not exactly in the north of the country but somewhere in between south and north. The other areas mentioned " but also in Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales" as locations are near parallel.
