This moth, the Northern Footman, Eilema sericea looks spot on to mine, whatever they say about being 'ecotype' of Scarce Footman, Eilema complana

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.
