Maybe a system glitch. Seems OK now. The hindwing underside pattern looks consistent with many Heliothinae.

Yes, but underwing hindwing photos on Lepidoptera Buttefly House for Helicoperva puntigera and H, armigera and Mythimna convecta do not show a black dot which is present here.

After looking under 20 or so species, I think Dasygaster and Proteuxoa are the most likely genera.
