I know at times this can be hard, but to identify a geometrid like this we need to have a shot from above showing the patterns on the wings clearly. With many other types of moths a profile shot is also very helpful.

I endorse WendyEm's comment. Also having the photo in sharp focus (like this one) helps a lot!
