The HW white marks do not correspond to any species & are likely an aberration.

The unspotted wings & large palpi(labial palps) suggest two species.

1. Male of Quedara monteithi is generally darker brown.

2. Hyarotis iadera is a better match, being deep brown.

TL Seow: Cheers.

PS It should be Quedara monteithi. The underside HW is uniformly darker.
In Hyarotis iadera the HW underside have some obscure darker blotches.
