It is very difficult to ID moths from the underside view; do you happen to have any photos from the back of the moth (dorsal view)? That is how most people who have experience with moths (myself included) make an ID. I can tell you what family this falls in:
Geometridae

and if I had to guess, it's close to something like this,
