User's notes
Edited to include better photo taken during daylight (photo 1). Sorry original photos not very clear, moth was dead and rather bashed-looking under outside light.

The tiny visible bit of the upper surface of a hindwing has banding like that of A. godarti.

I'm not convinced its A. godarti because the fine black line at the wing tip is straight, not bent as it is in A. godarti.

Yes, the wing tip balack mark shape better fits A. convolvuli than Psilogramma.

Thanks so much. I have just added a better photo taken during daylight if you would like to check it (photo 1).
