This moth has the general look of Nomophila corticalis but the markings don't fit that sp.

re Nomophila corticalis - there is no good sign of the lines of dark circles, separated by pale bands across the wings which would indicate this species. While maybe it is the angle of the photo, this moth appears to have broader wings too.

There are plainer examples of N. corticalis identified as such online:-

I think the light reflecting off the wings is washing out the appearance of the pattern. The dark marks along the forewing costa seem less affected by the reflected light, and seem to correspond with those of N. corticalis.
