I think it is Artaxa sp. (Erebidae, Lymantriinae, Nygmiini). :)

Thanks so much for the ID suggestion Adarsha! I was just looking at my previous spottings and realised this one is probably the same species as one spotted 2 years ago: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/715... . But this one was ID'd as Artaxa or Arna sp....?
