Uresiphita ornithopteralis seems correct, though I note the row of dark spots near the termen are unusual

I originally thought the slight white collar and whitish legs were indicative of U. ornithoteralis but I agree the forewing markings are not supportive. And there are some n. corticalis on the ALA showing both features,. Side-on view seems to support N. corticalis but the forewing marking patterns are not convincing to me nevertheless. But on balance i would favour N. corticalis I think!

I suspect, Achyra affinitalis may be closer.

Yes well spotted. I think you are correct. I should have realised that myself.
