A bit yellow compared with the 21 in BOLD. Maybe X. assimilis ?

@PJH123 : There is a leg in the way in this photo. Did you observe a black or brown costal line near the base of the forewing?

More likely to be X. assimiliis I think.

Ian, There appears to be a darker line above the leg and the head appears more yellow than the forewing
