Notes (optional)
RPS: Most likely to be Carea obsolescens Moore, 1884
1) OD: Moore, 1884. Transactions of the Entomological Society of London, 1884. 32: 355-376. TL: Bombay (Maharashtra), Coonoor (Tamil Nadu) Text at: https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/14715340#page/386/mode/1up
2) Poole, 1989. Lepidopterorum catalogus (New Series) 118: Noctuidae Lepid. cat. (n.s.) 118. (I don't have access to this)
3) iNaturalist has an image of a plate here, but I am not sure where it is from: https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1075455-Carea-obsolescens
Have to dig in later to check more references but it is a good match to OD.
JD : I agree this looks closest to obsolescens , check the description in https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/101549#page/586/mode/1up plate - https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/101548#page/69/mode/1up. Also refer to the keys for Carea - https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/101549#page/579/mode/1up
