Z. protumnusalis
Probably Z. protumnusalis but the st. line and reniform spot seems too strong. May be something intermediate.

Z. martha get darker near the outer margin and has a stronger am. line. Z. dentata has both the am. and pm. lines expanded at the costal margin. The am. line of your example lacks that feature.
