Could not find a match in Eribidae. I am leaning towards Taxeotis sp because I'm assuming the apparent two black marks at the wing tip in the first image are either a shadow or a missing gap in the wing on the RHS, whereas the LHS black mark is a gap in the wing as shown by reference to the second and third images. Nevertheless its a very plain looking Taxeotis if that ID is correct.

Yep, sorry I should have noted the shadow from a leaf tip on the RHS. And the LHS is definitely a gap in the wing.
