I agree with Bayucca, looks more like a Caeneressa sp.

Not Amata nigriceps andnot Amata sp., from the same tribe, but yours is most probably a Caeneressa sp..

I don't think it is an Auriculoceryx sp.

If Chun or Nuwan do not have a better IDea I would take Syntomini as scientific name (as part of Erebidae, Arctiinae).
