H. coryphoea
I agree it looks quite like H. sinuata forewings, although most of them have distinct black markings on hindwings. However this appears to be a coastal species. I thtink this must be H. coryphoea which has a more inland distribution and has less black on the hindwings. The forewing pattern can fit this sp too.
