Thanks Christine and Leuba. I get just as excited by a sighting like this than of most butterflies.

It must be a Rubropsichia of some kind I think.

Looks very similar to Rubropsichia fuesliniana images on Google. Lots of differences too :). Pretty moth. Hope you get an ID soon. Sorry I was not of more help.
