Hi SukesihGuna. I think yours has lost some scales at the tip of the forewing... where the dark drown patch is.

Hi SukesihGuna! This is a butterfly and not a moth. You can tell by the clubs at the end of the antennas (there are exceptions to this rule but they are very few). It appears to be from the Lycaedinae family. I hope someone can provide you with a closer ID.
