Moth for identification

I saw this moth amongst grass in Todmorden today. I don't know the species but hoping someone can help.

I think maybe Common White Wave but I’m sure others will name it with more certainty !

Thank you David. Looking at illustrations for this moth it looks like you have it spot on!

Hi Philip - Common Wave is similar but the cross line are brownish and wavy rather than straight-ish cross lines on CWW. Just in case you see both of them !

Hi David, thank you for that and I will keep my eyes open!
