Not sure, a very light óloured and worn example if so. I havent found a convincing matçh, but there are no un-named Epitymbia (genus) examples which fit well either.

@ibaird yeah, it was quite pale compared to the first one, but the markings seemed to be a match. The insect world isn't my forte (I'm studying botany), but in the plant world, colouration can vary quite wildly. Not so with moths?
