Castle Carr Road etc - 16th September

Small Heath on gorse bushes in the afternoon. I wasn't expecting any butterfly's but it was a welcome sight.
 Small Heath
 
Also a query from Lee Mount with this ? Marbled Carpet. Can't decide whether or not it is Common Marbled or Dark Marbled as only limited experience of Dark Marbled ?

Thanks Andy. I think I have only ever had one Dark MC here and 2 at Hardcastle Crags on the moth night so I'm finding 'Dark MC' hard to get to grips with, especially looking for the comparison on the markings on the central band.
