To me it looks like
Sturmia bella, but it is a little bit anonymous so maybe wait for Theo to confirm :)
On second thoughts the m-cu vein looks very angled so perhaps it is a Voriini? :S

This time the second thought is the best.
It is a male (look at those pulvilli !, though out of focus) with proclinate orbital setae.
Bare eyes and no discal setae, so probably Voria ruralis.
Which has the least extreme Voriini-venation (Athrycia is much more extreme)
