Looks like a footman to my untrained eye - perhaps Lithosiini Scoliacma nana?

Yes there are a whole suit of similar looking moths inin Lithosiini (tribe) eg. Scoliacma and other similar genera , but none so far i've seen so far with the finely 'tesselated?' markings this moth has.

I think the tesselated markings are unusually drawn out by the photo
