You are quite right.
There are three of those obscure Thoressa species in the area which are quite similar.

Thoressa aina.
UpF spots are distinctly yellow, the cellspot prominent.

Thank you so much Dr, Seow sir and Sajan KC sir for the detailed verification and ID help.
I forgot to check Thoressa which too have the antennal tip yellow. Thoressa gupta seems to be a good find.
