Using the notes which are a guide to identification,, this moth is difficult to distinguish from P. testaceiocollis because the collar is quite light in colour and should be darker brown for that species, however the notes say there can be a lighter edge to collar which is apparent here, leading me to agree it's likely P. bistrigula.
