The face is slightly prominent. Forewings are whitish-ochreous or ochreous, mixed or sometimes much suffused with light fuscous; a moderately thick well-defined white median streak from base to 3/4 or 5/6 terminating in two or three fine whitish streaks on veins; sometimes some indistinct blackish terminal dots; cilia shining fuscous. Hindwings are grey. The larva is brown, paler laterally; spots large, dark brown; head black; plate of 2 black -brown.
The moth flies from July to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on various grasses, such as Puccinellia maritima and Festuca ovina. Wikipedia →

Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Streak Grass-Veneer sighting in London on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 1394th most-seen of the 1504 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
Any time of year
In every month with enough records, under 5% of wildlife watchers report a Pale-Streak Grass-Veneer in London on a given day, so our monthly data shows no clear season.
5th of 5
Of the 5 cities where we can rate Pale-Streak Grass-Veneer sightings, London ranks 5th at under 5%. The best odds are in Helsinki (Finland, about 10%), Liverpool (United Kingdom, under 5%) and Moscow (Russia, under 5%).
Same genus: Agriphila
The closest relatives of the Pale-Streak Grass-Veneer that you can see in London (genus Agriphila) are Pearl Veneer (about 10%), Common Grass-Veneer (about 10%) and Elbow-Striped Grass-Veneer (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Pale-Streak Grass-Veneer is recorded against all the insects logged in London (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
