Trichodezia albovittata
I'm not familiar with your area, but this looks like a White-striped Black Moth (Trichodezia albovittata). See

Trichodezia albovittata
Yes, it does look like the white-stripped black moth. The white on the wing tips is more pronounced on mine, and mine is slightly larger, but maybe that is all within the normal range of variation.

Thank you.
