I would say both Mottled Grey.They have stright leading edges to the forewing with a pronounced curve near the wing tip. Early-toothe Striped has a more gently curving leading edge. Also the chequered veins are a good clue.
If you want to get your hands dirty, have a look at the hindwing. Early-toothe Striped has an alula or flap near the base of the wing not present in MGs.
Thanks Charlie!
Flight time is also an indication and it is rare to get ETS in March,if you use all these bits of info you should crack it.(both MG for me)
yes. straight leading edge (or even a slightly concave line to it) is a diagnostic feature. Win
