Part of the wings is missing. Looks like it got bitten off.

A common problem: birds often only manage to bite off a piece of one forewing tornus.

To me, it does not look like Holocola thalassinana, but I have no idea what it is.

I agree. I initially thought it looked most like Cryptaspasma sordida (see on CNM) but I'm not sure. I tend to think its a Tortriciiini moth, and it looks somewhat familiar, but I have not found a better match yet.
