Quite likely Strepsicrates (genus) I would expect.

I don't think there is any Strepsicrates as dark as this, but it may be in the wider Spilonota group

As 'light' as this I expect you meant. The fine vertical closely spaced lines near the forewing tip (side-on view) are present in S. macropetana.
