I'm confident it's Psilosticha, and is consistent with the common P. absorpta, but it might also be the larger P. mactaria.

I'm preferring P absorpta because of the clearly visible right angled kink in the forewing wave marking, the whitish scalloped hindwing markings which seem to be characteristic of that species and also the black mark on the thorax.
