Wing shape - lack of the pronounced hookwing and the apparent presence of a fine spotting pattern on the basal half of the forewing suggests Taxeotis to me - however I admit the image is not sharply focussed. Then there appears to be distinct marginal grey line consistent with T. intermixtaria. I’d be happy to be corrected. From my own observing Taxeotis sp. are flying and common locally at the moment
