I lean to Lichenaula lichenea. This is a pale/worn specimen. It has the dark bands on the neck and 'shoulders' and a dark spot in the white patch in the outer half of the forewing. Above specimen has a much more expansive white patch.
c.f.

Nice pick up. I can see what you mean with the colouring/markings.
