A side-on shot would helo. Does it have upward pointing curved palps?

I checked and unfortunately these are the only images I have, the angled shot was a poor attempt at a side on view. Sorry I didn’t really take notice of the palps at the time.

I think Cosmaresta (genus) is a reasonable presumption., although I have not been able to find a precise match online. On Bold Systems 4 the pattern seems closest to C. hyphanta or C. chraxias - although there seems to anomolous fine markings toward the outer forewing which I've not seen elsewhere.

A good case for C. hyphanta I reckon.
