I thought this specimen looked quite similar to 4385691 which was ID'd as O. hieroglyphica but now I'm not sure that identification was correct; however O. hieroglyphica seems quite variable on the ALA. But the latter half of the forewing doesn't seem to match O. hieroglyphica.

Thanks for trying Don and Ian. I can't match it to anything either and I don't think it is P. impletella.

The dark diagonal band on the forewing from costa to tornus of O. hieroglyphica is more evident in 4385691. As you say: this specimen does not have that feature.
