Seems quite worn, so difficult to see a match at the species level, thpugh likely Leistaercha (genus), perhaps L amphigramma?

I don't think this is Leistarcha sp. - they have pointier wings with insignificant fringe. They also don't seem to have the small kidney shaped spot along the main fawn stripe.
