Possibly, but edge of black thorax adjoininh the yellow forewing is pointed not rounded, and there's no yellow fringe on the outer forewing edge as in most exmaples of H. pyrochrysa online.

I don't think Hemibela pyrochrysa quite fits. This moth had a dull brown colour and Hemibela pyrochrysa has a rich reddish brown colour on the brown parts. Also the shape is not quite the same. Hmm...

Coesyra cyclotoma on ALA has a yellow head and looks like it holds its wings flat. I don't think it's the right ID for this one.

I don't think it's Chrysonoma catoptrina either. Doesn't have the pink pattern or yellow head.
