I'm not sure the underside pattern matches the underside of N. rhoeoalis as seen on Lepidoptera Butterfly House.

Sadly, I don't know. It was a small moth that flew past me quickly and into a little grotto of vegetation. By the time I managed to spot it again and focus my camera I only managed one shot. It then flew off really quickly. I just didn't get a decent look at it.
