To me it looks like Cissia terrestris but I don't know. I don't have any other pics, I was lucky just to get this one.

It does look very much like my spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/207...

Tricky one without a ventral view. Could be the same one as Gilmas:

Could also be Cissia terrestris or Cissia similis
