Hi Pinky,
Welcome to BC !
It will be easier to ID your moth if you can increase the attachment size .
You can attach shots of up to 750 pixel on the long size and up to 100 kb per picture.
Cheers!
Looks like a Chalcosia sp.

certainly agree with Atronox that it's a burnet moth, though would need a larger view to see if it's a Chalcosia or one of the closely allied genera (e.g. Soritia)
cheers, Roger.
