Wish I could help ...
but the gestalt's not working. The more I look at, the less sure I am. I think you're in the right neighborhood. I'm just not familiar with enough, to know the variations. I do notice the legs are not banded like most of the Aronicta. Perhaps someone more familiar with your fauna will know.

Robert - perhaps 10326 – Hadena variolata. One image in Bold seems particularly close, others seem also close.
