Yes, and also no yellow patch in the forewing marginal fascia. Upturned labial palps?

kasiaaus have you another image of this one? Are their labial palps?

I've added one more photo but I'm not sure you can see much more in it. I will also post another sighting from the following day but again I don't think you can see more there. If I see this moth again I will be more careful to photograph the head properly.

I think I can see palps close against the front of the head.
