Given the sharpness and lighting of the image, I cannot be sure whether this is P, hypochalcis (the sexes are subtly different in that species), or P. capularis (Half Moon Noctuid) - which was my first thought. Have you other images of the same moth?

No, unfortunately. I was walking through the corridor at school and only had seconds during the stampede of students to take the shot =). Apologies for the single poor quality image though.
