I'm pretty confident this is a Ceromitia spp., but I'm not confident as to species. There are two other named species on Bold Systems 4 which look very similar. Although probably not C. iolampra because that species has black banding across the forewing.

It seems to be the same one as identified earlier as C. leptosticta
