It's amazing how sometimes the closer one looks to similar but different things, the more they look alike! But I think the two light patches inwards from and towards the costa from the dark mark with the white centre don't have the clear boundaries with the characteristic shape of Dasygaster. Rather they are blurred like Mythimna.
