10431 - Faronta diffusa
This superb specimen calls into question whether this and your earlier photos (lacking the pink) are of this species, or might be 10434 - Faronta rubripennis (which might be TOO pink for your moths). I'd leave them at 10431 for now but try to compare them with museum collections later.
