It's Xanthogramma, but I can't tell which. There's X. pedissequum which seems likely, but there's also X. stackelbergi and X. dives which seems to be missed out from keys.. the keys are on a pdf however..

The apex of the wing seems to be infuscated. This is the character to distinguish X. dives from X. stackelbergi and X. pedissequum. However, it is not very clear from these fotos and I would recommend to name it "cf. dives".
