Narrative:
Event: on profile descent (korry arrival) descended below 13000 ft at restr (approximately 400 ft) at davys intersection instead of holey intersection. Description: descending using vertical speed, trying to make sure I was no higher than 13000 ft at holey in order to make the 2000 ft drop between holey and brand which is only 6 mi and with a tailwind. I apparently was down prior to davys and then after being distracted looked up and saw the DME 60 to zero and started the descent to cross brand at 11000 ft. Several seconds later I crosschecked the map and realized the DME had been for davys instead of holey. I then returned towards 13000 ft and started down again to cross brand at 11000 ft. ATC made no mention of the event.

Title: B767-300 CAPT OVERSHOT XING RESTR ALT DURING STAR ARR DSCNT AND REALIZED MISTAKE AND BEGAN RETURN UNTIL OVER FIX WHEN FURTHER DSCNT WAS REQUIRED.
Narrative: EVENT: ON PROFILE DSCNT (KORRY ARR) DSNDED BELOW 13000 FT AT RESTR (APPROX 400 FT) AT DAVYS INTXN INSTEAD OF HOLEY INTXN. DESCRIPTION: DSNDING USING VERT SPD, TRYING TO MAKE SURE I WAS NO HIGHER THAN 13000 FT AT HOLEY IN ORDER TO MAKE THE 2000 FT DROP BTWN HOLEY AND BRAND WHICH IS ONLY 6 MI AND WITH A TAILWIND. I APPARENTLY WAS DOWN PRIOR TO DAVYS AND THEN AFTER BEING DISTRACTED LOOKED UP AND SAW THE DME 60 TO ZERO AND STARTED THE DSCNT TO CROSS BRAND AT 11000 FT. SEVERAL SECONDS LATER I XCHKED THE MAP AND REALIZED THE DME HAD BEEN FOR DAVYS INSTEAD OF HOLEY. I THEN RETURNED TOWARDS 13000 FT AND STARTED DOWN AGAIN TO CROSS BRAND AT 11000 FT. ATC MADE NO MENTION OF THE EVENT.
