see additional photo, The antennae are somewhat out of focus unfortunately. However there appears to be striations on this specimen, so it might be a Garrha

No striations in antennae suggesting not Garrha (genus). Possibly Heliocausta (genus). Looks not dissimilar to 'Heliocausta undescribed species'.

We cannot see the antannae so I'm not sure its Garrha, but I'm also not sure the wing pattern matches typical P. protoxantha. Could be Garrha repandula.

Yes there is apparently a lot of variation in the species from dark to very white specimens.
