Chrysodeixis eriosoma.

Three species are widespread in the Indo-Australian tropics.
All three have a coppery area (hard to see) posterior (below) the maculations (white spots).
There is a more pronounced dark spot in the centre of the marginal fringe (FW cilia).

C. eriosoma. The FW apex is mostly dark .
