Herpetograma sp.
2.5 cm. The abdomen is longer than the wings and this is obvious both at rest and in flight. The antenna are held back and above the abdomen a lot more closely together than most.
Found sleeping on bracken in a sparsely wooded copse at night
file #long abdomen moth 998. Thanks to NuwanChathuranga for the id. The reference is from the Northern Hemisphere Bug Guide as the genus is more fully covered there
