ID pointers: The Uncertain and Rustic are a troublesome pair of moths to identify. The name Uncertain reflects how difficult it is to separate from Rustic. However, it is possible to differentiate between the two. The Uncertain is slightly larger than Rustic, having a marginally broader wing and each species has its own distinct “Jizz”, with Uncertain having a rougher appearance in texture. The Ground colour is a rich yellowish-brown or tawny brown, sometimes dusted with grey especially along the cross-lines. Well defined and obvious oval and kidney marks sometimes defined in white. There is an obvious and jagged dark cross-band above the oval and a bolder, slightly diffuse cross-band that joins the kidney marks, plus a darker sub-terminal cross-band. The oval & kidney marks show a greater contrast against the overall tone of the forewing. The costa is slightly curved. Cross-lines are variable. The most reliable and clearcut identification feature is as follows. If wings can be carefully separated, then the under forewing of Uncertain shows a large, bold and dark crescent-shaped reniform stigmata contrasting against the ground colour. Often the orbicular stigmata is a dark patch and the stigmata on under hindwing is a larger less defined blob. Cross-lines are well marked. Worn or faded specimens need to be recorded as aggregate.
