Picture Winged Leaf Moth (Thyridiae)

Aglaopus pyrrhata

Notes:

The colours and light levels are blown by the fact that the moth is sitting by a light on a black background. File #hook. It will be enough to get an identity I think

Wow, NuwanChathuranga, impressive research! Yes it certainly could be. I will change the identity. Many thanks

Thank you NuwanChathuranga. I have a spotting of that one earlier and considered it but the wings are more hooked on this. Could that be gender or regional differences?
