It looks like that species to me,
and there is a dot from that area on the map at Moth Photographer's Group.

However, I don't know the source of that record, and it could be a misidentification. There are two other species from that region have the same pattern, though they tend to look somewhat different, and I'm not familiar enough with them to know if they can look like yours. One is L. mixta, and the other is L. bicolor

Beauty!
