Thank you donhe. It’s obviously not clear enough to be sure. I was wondering why it had never been identified. Doesn’t hurt to ask, does it.

Maybe an edge of a pale patch is showing on the left hindwing?

Could this be Helicoverpa Punctigera. The Helicoverpa Armigera is distinguished from H. Punctigera by presence of pale area in dark outer band of hind wing, cited by Naturemapr at top of Armigera sightings page. Record 4422279 demonstrates this well. My photos are not nearly as crisp but I think the feature photo appears not to have a similar patch and looks more like H Punctigera photos.
