While tha forewing markings seem to be in the right place, this moth appears much paler, whitish and more elongated in form compared to the P. syrtica photos on the ALA and iNaturalist.

It seemed thinner and lighter to me too.

I can see the similarity in dots and longitudinal white overlay, but P. syrtica are grey in background colour and a different shape. Is the photo colour reasonably True Kat?

Yes, the colour in the photo is as it really was.
