Resting position very consistent with Capusa. Maybe Capusa stenophara.

Grey hindwings. Dusky Wedge-moth. See MOV 5-31-9 and more importantly CD.

I think the vague patchy dark median forewing band makes it Capusa stenophora.

I think the dark forewing sub-hindmarginal line makes it Capusa stenophora as well.
