Couldn' t find a match in Acronicta (genus) or Neumichta (genus).
I looked long at hard at Epicyrtica (genus) without finding a good match.

Metachrostis paurograpta ? Alophosoma syngenes ? Diatenes igneipicta ?
Calathusa basicunea (my favourite)?

Calathusa basicunea is a possibility but I'm not completely convinced. The pattern is a vague match but it seems to be quite variable and I like the greenish tinge.

Glenn thinks it is Noctuoidea as well (see your email Ian). I tend to agree but I still cannot find a match.
