I assume this is another Grapevine Moth, but not 100% sure.

I suspect this may not be a P. glycine (Vine Moth). The number of white markings on the leading edge of the RHS forewing suggests it may be Periscepta polysticha but I'm not sure whether the underwing hindwing would have a partially white margin, which seems to be shown in the image. Needs a second and maybe third opinion, I think!

Yes, it is Periscepta polysticha. The broken white line in the underside margin if the hinwing matches it, much better than Phalaenoides glycine.
