Wooly head, top of legs, body; White forewings with few markings; Hind wings grey at margin; Body grey; Antennae simple, orange; Eyes bulbous, olive green. Maybe Acyphas (MOV 8-19-30) or Urocoma (MOV 8-18-23)?

The prominent veins suggest that has lost many scales, particularly from its forewings. Wide dark border to hindwings suggests Heliothinae. The slight pale patch on that border suggests Helicoverpa armigera.
