I have to admit the white patches made doubt about your id for a while, but then i took a closer look and some of the links you gave me are very similar (the only appreciable difference are those patches) so i'm gonna trust you
Thanks again

I know you will be sceptic because you will not see much of Tenedia with these white patches. You have to google and take a look:
This is probably the only butterfly Bill Bouton is not sure about the ID:

And being a very bad boy I give you a link which would confuse you completely (me too):

I think you are safe with Emesis tenedia, female btw...
