I looked at a number of species. there were also some oxytensis that looked like they could fit the bill. I think I sent this one too you in a mail. It is those green little marks that have me puzzled.

Definitely a moth. Noctuidae. I am first thinking about Epitausa sp. or Hemeroblemma sp. But I need more time to take a closer look to this one...
