It looks to me like an Ardozyga sp. but I have not been able to match it.

Thank you so much Wendy and Don. It definitely looks like a Symbolistis sp. probably orophota. I tried very hard to find something that matched but got nowhere.

Again, the distinctive white and dark pattern near the tip of the antennae can apprently help identification:-
