Agreed, P.mucida or P.philostaura. P. mucida seems sometimes to show a darker last third of the forewing.

On the LBH evidence H brachyomis is brown overall with a wide black collar. T. metachroa, i think lacks the black collar evident here.

This mooth does not have a white head and thorax (& shoulders) if you look closely at 2nd shot it has sun shining at an angle from above onto top of it, rest is in shade.
