Being unable to see the whole hindwing, I think we cannot distinguish it from Ectropis excursarai.

I'll try to edit the photo donhe. The aspect ration wasn't accepted by the CNM program so I cropped it. Update: I found another shot - does this help?

Bron, re-cropping won't help to see the hindwing better, so Don's opinion on the ID I think won't change, unless you have another photo of the specimen with less overlap of the forewing over the hindwing.

Thanks ibaird - I thought that might be so. Since I can't go back to 2013 I can't re-photograph it :)
Cheers Bron
