I'm puzzled by the elliptical rather than circular shape of the fw orbicular (inner) mark. It is circular in Condica aroana and illecta, unplaced macrosema, Epicyrtica and the Ectopatria that I've looked at (except Ectopatria mundoides that has an elliptical mark but fails to match this photo in other ways). So I have doubts about its identification, but can't do better yet.

I think the circular nature of the mark appears elliptical because of foreshortening caused by the 'tent' posture is being viewed dorsally.
