Its quite a variable species, but the darker trailing edges of the forewing suggest Telocharacta eg. T, hemicroca :-

Also, the size and shape of the forewing markings suggest Mionolena euxantha, see

and also on Bold Systems:

However, the dark margins to the forewings do not seem obvious in the iNaturalist and Bold Systems photos of this species.
