I;m not sure this matches Phelotis cognata.
A 'foreshortened' male Zermizinga sinuata? That is the moth is slanted so the trailing edge of the forewing is closest to the camera?

@ibaird the moth wasn't 'foreshortened'. The camera lens was ~parallel with the dorsal surface. I don't know whether that makes a difference to the identification.
