dark mark on thorax = punctigera?
Are there other diagnostic differences?

I am suggesting G puntigersa ( see Sighting No 4239281) because of the white wing spot with plain brown colouration around iit, the subdued colouration generally and the apparent presence of the black spots on the white white head. White headed examples of G. acedesta on LBH, the ALA and Bold Systems 4 apparently lack the clear black spots on the white head.
