Seems too bulky in shape and lacks forewing markings I would expect for A. infusa.

The scalloped forewing ante-medial line looks good for A. infusa, the other markings could have been abraded, and the view angle maybe foreshortening the photo to make it look dumpy.

I agree the shape of the reniform is more like that of D. padockina.
