Burnet Moths

Three images of Burnet Moths today, the first two captured on top of the cliff at the North Landing, Flamborough and the other one near home.
I find these moths very difficult to fully identify as there are several similar species in the UK. I think these are 5 Spot Burnets (Zygaena trifolii), although the third shot looks to have narrower wings and could be a Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet (Zygaena lonicerae).
Then again I could be completely wrong and they could be 6 Spot Burnets.
