Thanks, Bayucca, but doesn't really fit with the ones on the links. This one has a dark thorax and head. Looks different!

Geometridae, Larentiinae. Might be Thera variata, an extremely variable species. If it is really Variata, you have one with quite strong and dark markings. For me it is too late to check this seriously. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thera_variata http://w.lepidoptera.pl/show.php?ID=691&country=AL http://www.natur-schmetterlinge.ch/schmetterlinge-nach-familie/geometridae-spanner/thera-variata-veränderlicher-nadelholzspanner/
