User's notes
Markings at the back of wings don't seem quite right for either comptella or stereodyta.

While Edosa (genus eg. E. xystidophera, E. fraudulens) has been suggested, those species show a dark or black coloured v -shaped thorax, This moth clearly has a yellow coloured thorax. Tachystola (genus) show a yellow thorax, but I haven't found a sattisfactory match in that genus. There is also a distinctly jagged edge between the yellow coloured mid forewing and the outer forewing darker area.

They are visible in the front end view of the fifth image, otherwise yes, hidden hard up ag against the yellow 'face''.
