I am not sure this is Barea atmophora when comparing it with sightings identified as such on iNaturalist. I do not see the broad black 'vee' shape in forewing markings in the dorsal view in the foward half of the forewing, eg, see here
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/893110-Barea-atmophora
But I do see features suggesting B. may be b. micropis in the dorsal view, see here:-

and in the side view:-

I'm not sure Ian, what about the dark area near the head? It seems to match Barea atmophora but not B. micropis.
