Ourapterex sp.
This white moth has golden tinges at its tail area of the wings. Length: 50 mm; wingspan: 85 mm.
The 2nd and 3rd photos, simulating in-flight pictures, are shots taken from the inside of the window pane while the moth is resting on it. Almost all moth/ butterfly photos are those of the dorsal view, I've tried to show the rarely seen ventral and frontal views of these animals.
Thanks bayucca for the ID. I'll follow your suggestion and edit the the post.
