I think I can see the long and short pale areas along the costa, and although the photos far from ideal, I think I see vestiges of one of the three dark spots. The head is pale. The pale areas along the forewing margins are a cause for concern.

It was a bit speculative given the quality of the photos, but I believe I can see the main elements of the H. ochroma wing pattern and the shape and antennae are consistent with it. This species does have a light costa.
