Not sure of the species. Size and shape of forewings suggests Exelastis phlyctaenias, but the photos don't show the fine details of wing markings which would help further with identification

Sorry - raining, and this was as low as I could go to photograph the moth

Perhaps you could carry a little specimen bottle to capture specimens temporarily for photography under comfortable conditions ?
