This photo does not look like the type photo of Amelora cryphia. Is it another worn Scopula rubraria?

Yes: the banded abdomen is more like Scopula.
Too blurred to sure.

Having just photographed a S. rubraria (I think), the above never had definite waves just the obvious 4 dots - however I am no moth taxonomist!
