Spodoptera?
Looks a lot like Spodoptera hipparis, but I'm not so sure with the serrate antennae. Males seem to have almost plumose antennae. I wonder if females have serrate antennae?

serrate
The one Jim Vargo pinned image in MPG, and the 6th of 6 images shown by BOLD appear to indicate a serrate or at least not plumose antennae. Can't detect any information for these on the sexes.
