Looks as though it had trouble expanding its wings.

I thought it might have just emerged and was pumping up its wings, but I didn't recognise it as a sun moth. I have a duplicate sighting if that's the case.

The white bands on the fw showing best in photo 2 don't seem to match Synemon plana, I think it might be a Pyraloidea, but I don't think we are going to be able to identify it.
