Hi, this is most probably a moth of the Crambidae, subfamily Crambinae.

Thank you Eric, it is a very intriguing insect in my opinion.

It is, Bart, and next time try to make a lateral shot, too. This may help to identify (though there a more than 500 species of Crambidae in Europe...)

Hi again, Eric. I found one more picture of this individual. As well I tried to do my own research, hard stuff, I'd opt for Agriphila deliella tho.

Hi Bart, I think, you are right with Agriphila and I searched my sources but unfortunately I could not find one with that characteristic pattern on the wings end yet.
