Merocroca automima, Epithymema chrysocolla, Echinocosma catachrysa, Isomoralla pyrrhoptera?

Is the blue tinge an artifact?

Taken with ring flash, just like all other moth shots. UV light does emit blue light.

There is a distinct costal band and the terminal black area on the forewing has a stright margin.. A bit differemt ftom M. automima but can't be ruled out entirely. I think.. Stick with Oecophoridae Familu bor Wingia group I thinlk.
