Feathery legs, perhaps?
Do I see some feathery projections to the left of the head? Take a look at image #41505 and the comments. Maybe we have the same thing here. Do you have other photos of this specimen?

Zanclognatha for sure
and I also think that obscuripennis looks good, but like you say, the amount of wear makes me cautious. Image moved from Geometridae to genus page.
