While this looks rather like various Tachystola sp as far as I can see they all have a wide fringe containing yellow/orange. There is Linosticha orthogramma but it seems to be darker and has wider wings. Moving wider there are some Crocanthes sp that look somewhat like this but tend to sit differently. This is puzzling.

sorry Don, our postings crossed. Coesyra cyclotoma, I would have thought has wider wings than this.
