I can see the similarity in pattern with A. rudisana. It is the same species (even the same moth?) as 4372008 which I put in Agriophara dyscapna. I think I can make out short upcurved palpi which match Agriophara rather than Acropolitis. The dark line inside the brown patch is longitudinal in these photos, whereas it's more transverse in A. rudisana. I've been putting Agriophara sightings with distinct brown marks under A dyscapna, but more than one species is likely in there.

Looks the same as 4372008 but recorded 5 days apart. It seems to me that this later one looks fresher so it's probably not the same moth.
