forewings the wrong shape for Tachystola I think.

I don't think the shape is right for Doleromima hypoxantha which has broader wings. We can't see much of the head, so it is going to be difficult to identify.

Getting a clear photo seems beyond me and my camera, one of us will have to have an upgrade.
