Although variable, there are a number of images in ALA, Bold Systems 3 and iNaturalist that all indicate that this is Anestia semichrea.
The underneath shot is consistent with the hindwing, although I could not find an underneath image on the internet.

I believe our policy is not try to distinguish between Anestia species ie. between A. semichnroa and A. ombrophanes. See the note on LBH: ''There is a suspicion that this )i.e A. ombrophanes) is the same species as Anestia semiochrea (Butler 1886) as Butler and Meyrick published nearly simultaneously, and probably had no idea what the other was publishing".
