Or is it Epirrhoe sp. for example Epirrhoe galiata??? http://pathpiva.wifeo.com/epirrhoe-galia... All of a sudden I am no more sure about Xanthorhoe sp.!! Sp, please, consider other ones as well... I must admit, these Larentiinae are despite the typical markings often VERY tricky to ID, specially if we also consider the extreme variability on genus and species level.
Looking at different Xantorhoeini, I think it really is Xanthorhoe sp. and Montanata might be a valuable candidate, however, most of Montanata I have seen have other colors than yours, mostly "white" with the typical pattern. So, personally I would rather go with Xanthorhoe cf. montanata rather than daring to fully confirm the species.

I don't think epirrhoe-galiata matches any of mine but Xanthorhoe designata looks close to some also.

Am I right that this is Silver Ground Carpet, Xanthorhoe montanata?
Geometridae, Larentiinae.
