Apparently quite worn. Capusa seems most likely at first blush, perhaps C. stenophera.

I don't think it is Capusa sp - the head and face are wrong shape, wings are too short. Underside not fluffy enough. It looks more like a Noctuid to me but I have not found a match despite a lot of looking (incl. in Geometrids)
