Thank you, AgnesAdiqueTalavera. I had an intuition that it might be Pingasa Chlora Candidaria. I made a quick search and did not get any fruitful leads. So I am just editing my spotting according to your suggestion.

It's one of my favorite geometrids and always think Pingasa moths are awesome. This one looks a lot like the White Lopper Moth, Pingasa chlora. But distribution range does not seem to agree - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pingasa_chlora. Hope you ID this to species level. Regards!!
