Tan coloured; Feathered antennae (male); Front 2 legs brown, 3 leg white; 2 white tibia spurs on leg 2; Costa speckled; Two curved lines; No distal spot; Distinct crest; Wing tips slightly hooked, darker in colour.
I think that it is closer to F. perplexata but could be F . hypoleuca.

Specimen lacks the uniform dark brown forelegs said to be characteristic of F. hypoleuca, see MoV images from life. Specimen does have a dark terminal forewing edge said to be indicative of F. perplexa, but its hard to be sure given the known variation. Nevertheless I'm agreeing with F. perplexata in conformity with 'the ANIC approach' referred to by MOV in their notes
