SYNTOMIS OR AMATA?

Friends, I am posting yet another picture of a Moth, the ID of which still remains to be a mystery. I have posted two images (including one of a similar species) already.

Numerous knowledgeable memebers like Ivan, Peter and Krzysztof have suggested possibilities of a species of the Arctiidae subfamily Syntominae region specific to Asia and not to be confused with the Nine Spotted species of Europe.
Could this possibly be Syntomoides (Ceryx) imaon, also commonly known as the Handmaiden Moth?

This third image might elicit some positive suggestions/ideas from members who might have missed my previous posts. I, on my own part, have followed the leads given by friends thoroughly but have not been able to make a 100% certain identification.

If you have any ideas, please do come out with them. I would be grateful.

The image was a little blurry in the face. I have tried to improve it with Photoshop CS2. Hope you find it of some interest.
For a link to my earlier posts of similar moth(s), please go HERE.

Thanks to all.

Hi Ram,
that's an interesting insect, I've never seen before. It's wonderful to have those insects in free nature, I think in Germany the winters are too cold for such animals.
Thanks for sharing, bye and greetings

Hi Ram,
No help here with the ID, unfortunately. But the colors are suprisingly attractive for a moth. Focus seems to be on the back.
Best wishes,
Hakan

Hi Ram,
I posted a similar insect long time ago. It is from Arctiidae (Tiger moths)family,Syntominae subfamily, Eressa genus, and E. confinis species. This one may be from the same genus. A beautiful pov and composition.

Hi Ram,
Interesting insect this. Very well captured and presented. This shows that humans are yet to fathom the intricasies of nature and there is a lot to be discovered. Almost everyday we see such unusual insects in TN and all of us learn something new. Kudos.
