Maybe an Athetis species, depending on its size.

About 30mm, head to folded wing tips.

Oh. That is rather larger than most of the Amphipyrinae.
Maybe one of the common Helicoverpa species.
Would need to see the hindwings and even the underside to go further.

The photo is consistent with Proteuxoa amaurodes, but it is difficult to be certain

None of the BOLD specimens of P. amaurodes have the circular pale centred discal spot.

Yes, the mark does look different. let's step back to Proteuxoa sp.

It has some similarities with MoV sp4, but is not the same.
