Erebidae, Arctiinae, Pericopini, Hyalurga sp.. Unfortunately there are too many similar ones around. I cannot tell you the exact species.
Candidates are Hyalurga sora, Hyalurga leucophaea and even Hyalurga vinosa. There are obviously also sexual dimorphisms with different orange stripes in females and males.
