From what I can see online, I'm not convinced this is E. ductaria mainly becouase the anteriir slanted vertical mark on the forewing is single in that species, whereas there two slanted vertical marks close together in this specimen. There are apparently quite a few species, it seems, with similar markings. for example, Philobota mucida.
