Hi J. I am so sorry I missed your ID comment so long ago. It definitely is a Dargida and there seems to be several species that are very similar. It looks most like D. grammivora but I wouldn't dare put it as certain :). I added a better picture.
This looks like a Dargida genus moth, but it doesn't seem to be on BOLD:
