I suggest it is a foreshortened (low angle from below in the first image) female Ectropis excursaria although the definitive markings at the outer edges of the hindwing (an upturned 'mainline' marking) are not quite visible due to the overlap of the forewing.

These two images are of the same moth which moved about. the first was taken at an angle , being higher than me.
