Yup, Agnes. I have seen you wonderful pic and we can be agree about the Genus. But my moth has more black stripes than yours. This is one diference that I supose is important. Your moth could be A. nigriceps, but mine too? To be or not to be... :)

I agree with Amata sp. Unfortunately, until now, we are unable to nail the ID at species level. Pls see my similar spotting and the discussion regarding this: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16459007.
