Dear Dr. Seow,
Is this a day flying moth? If it is a butterfly, can please help me, thanks.
Location: Banding Island in Lake Temenggor, Upper Perak, July 8, 2023.

At first, I saw only one but then when I saw three of them flying under bright sunshine, I took this video below - hope it can be viewed.

It is a Notodontid moth named by Schintlmeister in 2000.
There is variation in the basal colour & degree of shading.
The female is almost wholly buff coloured.

TL Seow : Cheers.
PS. it is not day-flying but likely disturbed out of its resting place.
