Halone species, maybe H. ophiodes ?

Or a variation of the common Halone coryphaea?

I cannot find a H coryphoea with white bands this wide. Scoparia ?

Perhaps not Scoparia, but maybe Scoparini? Eudonia protorthra is variable (see ALA), but although this speciem is not sharply in focus and we cannot see the head, the forewing pattern looks very similar to this species.
