Not a good angle to see the palpi clearly, but I think they are just visible.

Using iNaturalist's 'Add Observation" feature iNaturalist's AI algorithm suggested Philobata (genus) including P. philostaura and P. mucida as its top two selections. I thought P. mucida better fitted the shape and markngs on the forewing.
