Again, I thought A compsochroa was quite similar to this specimen, but none I saw online seem to be this dark in colour. Also the palps seem much more promiment in live photos elswhere and yellow-orange in colour. Are there photos of this moth from a different angle? Most examples online ( and set specimens on BOLD) seem to show the yellow costal colour continuing right to the base of the forewing and across the thorax However some examples from life elsewhere do show a break in the yellow colour on the costa as is visible here.

Unfortunately, that is all I have, Ian. I'll keep an eye out for similar moths over the next few days or so.
