Both E. bicincta and E. pulchra have 2 white markings on the forewing, but in bicincta they are thinner (although variable in both species). Visible in these images also is the thin white marking attached to, and at a right angle to, the broad basal white marking, which is typical of E. pulchra.

Thanks for the detailed description, is it a common insect? I had never seen it before.

It is sporadically common. When you find one, there are usually more.
