Could this be Miltogramma taeniata?

I get your point, but somehow it doesnt feel right.
Vertex is very narrow, for example.

Amobia ??

Theo, many thanks for the reply.

I also thought of Amobia and am not sure now why I changed. I think it is probably because all the Amobia photos I could find were much darker.

Looking back at my records I find the attached which looks very similar and I had labelled as Amobia. It has the same dark and narrow frontal stripe while in M. taeniata (inc. a couple of sightings I have) it is broader and orange.
