Looks good to me
Although not a moth I'm familiar with, the distinct buff trailing margins of both FWs, contrasting with the dark ground color of the rest of the FW, seems to be consistent in images of this species. This moth also lacks some of the distinctive marks of other Dypterygia's, e.g. here on MPG. Your moth has clearly lived a hard life!

Thank you for the reference.
