Sooo, this little fella is in my hallway atm. He’s fairly stubborn, won’t really move too much but he’s still alive. Any idea?

It's a moth, not sure which one though.
Possibly a Large Yellow Underwing

Hope this pic uploads. It's one I spotted last night while out walking. Their underwings are very pretty even if they are a bit roach-like
