Using the key to the Geometrinae from MoV I am suggesting this is C. assimilis given the following':
The dorsal line is yellow/cream; fringe of the wings is yellow only; very plain wings (no white markings); any red on the costa is confined the basal forewing or wing tips only.
Also the detail of the head fits C. accimilis. ie. face crimson, fillet cream (between the antenae bases on the head), antennae cream grading into red. red pectinations. collar narrowly red.
