I lean towards Taxeotis adelpha which also has dark palps and face and consistently has the dark patch near the tornus https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=329426

The dark palps, dark 'face' and the light head plus the forewing shape are a good match for T. subvelaria.

It might be one of another species that has larvae looking like those of C. arietaria.
Ciampa arietaria

This is similar to photos of the larva of Ciampa arietaria, but we do not know how many other species in Diptychini have larvae looking like this because there are published photos of the larvae of only 57 out of the 174 species in this tribe, and this could be one of the other 117.
