Thanks Bob.
Moths aren't my thing but could this be a light image of Dark-banded Owlet ?

Nope
The PM line is not as smooth in this species, but more jagged. The sub-terminal band is not sharp, with inner edge not parallel to the AM line.
Also, the orbicular and reniform spots are not black or not there. They should usually be visible on Phalaenophana pyramusalis.
