I don't think it is Amata lucerna neither. Amata is quite a tricky genus with great variability as well. But size, color, exact location and distribution of markings are quite relevant for a certain species.

I agree with Amata sp., but I am not sure if this is really Amata huebneri, looking at the size of the brighter spots and markings. Please, update your spotting, at least cancel the butterfly and check the link and decide which one you take. To be on the safe side you may add just "Amata sp." as scientic name and "Wasp Moth" or "Orange-banded Wasp Moth" as common name. Thanks!
