The pattern of dots well matches Taxeotis subvelaria (the current name on AFD, reserata is a synonym). but the fw costa which is apparently dark in the basal half and speckled whitish towards the apex, and the pale head do not. Are they artifacts of the photo?

I've added another photo that is cropped but not otherwise enhanced. Probably doesn't help much. I'm happy to delete the photos if they're of no use.

We certainly shouldn't delete images because they are hard to identify. They might turn out to be the most useful of all.

Agreed, the evidence should be kept, especially of difficult to identify species.
