    The markings are as for Callopistria but faded.
    Looks good as C. rivularis.

    Note the black triangle on the margin is close to the postmedial.
    Renform not enhanced white.
    Antemedial broadly angled centrally.

    The two C. maillardi & rivularis seem much confused & mixed up.

    Holloway said the postmedial in maillardi is well separated from the submarginal white marks.This meant the postmedial is well separated from the main body of the submarginals not their long points.
    Note antemedial sharply angled centrally.

    60. https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...4&d=1739474743
    61. https://www.butterflycircle.com/atta...5&d=1739474943

    No match for these two Geometrids although 60 should be correct as Hypomecis.

    Thank you once again Dr. Seow for such detailed information.
    I found a probable match for

    Looks like you found it.
    I actually went through the whole Geometrid images in MOI looking for a pale moth with dark edgings but still miss it.

    Although there are sixty over species the appearance of this species is consistent enough throughout its range.

    A 2nd similar species I. phaeocrossa is more heavily marked.
