Geometrid Moth

Description:

This moth was on the window in a pouring rain. I think it might be the same species as 2 previous spottings - maybe sexual, seasonal or just individual variation? Family Geometridae. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/275... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/232... The third picture was taken on 10 June 2014 of an individual in the same place, but it lacks much of the brown spotting on the wings. I still think they are the same species. Maybe of the genus Xanthotype?

Habitat:

Garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
