B&M - underwing, Lead Belle

Desiccated specimen found a few days before being imaged, source ???
wingspan = 19mm, which is less than the 30 to 32 I was expecting.
Based on the underside pattern, I think this is an example of a Lead Belle [Scotopteryx mucronata], or possibly the very similar July Belle [S. luridata].
