I don't see the shape of the renifotm marks on the forewing or the outer margins matching N. expulsa.

N. expulsa has a marginal arc of black daggers on the forewing, which this specimen does not have.
None of the Noctuidae illustrated on LBH have the sharp cusp on the pale submarginal double band on the forewing like this specimen appears to have. Is it a visual artifact from overlapping wings ?

Ah: P. rubropicta has a cusped pale submarginal arc like this, but the orbicular and reniform are all wrong.
