Having the damaged side most prominent makes identification tricky.
Anaptilora homoclera is another candidate.

It's not Atheropla decaspila. I can see the correspondence in wing pattern with one of the Butterfly House photos of Antiptolora homoclera, but the antennae and palpi here seem less robust than in the BH photo (although that may be lack of clarity in the photo).
