Thoracolopha (genus) possibly T. verecunda , see Sighting No. 4361625.

The colours do not look the same ? Is that a trivial difference?

I thought the shape and overall extent of markings suggested Thoracolopha (especially the side-on view showing a mark at the based of the forewing corresponding with the cited sighting) - assuming an old and worn specimen lacking a clear v-shaped forewing mark.
