Interesting ... long petiole ... Zeuxia cinerea perhaps? Really I'd prefer a few angles though - do you have anything showing the face - laterally?

Ahh, yes I was trying to see a shot of the face to see whether it might be an Estheria - laterally they are unmistakable

Zeuxia has an appendix to bend in vein M and - in most common species - a row of proclinate orbital setae. Both are lacking here Theo |
