Looks Like 7261 - Hydriomena albifasciata
.... an extremely variable species.

good visual traits?
Despite the variability, all the DNA-confirmed photos I'm seeing here have a white spot or smudge along the subterminal line, and a sort of "bushy eyebrow" median line (I think this is the right name for that line). What do you guys think, are those reasonable traits to look for to get this to species without barcoding?
