Shot this common moth resting on a blade of lallang. Are there some lookalikes in this species? :thinking:

The common name is Day flying moth, but really need the moth expert to tell us how many look alike species in Sg.

Judging by the slightly flattened antennae, I suspect this is a burnet moth of sorts (Zyganidae, Procridinae) rather than an Amata sp (Arctiidae, Syntominae). Very little literature on this group.
