Unknown Moth for ID

I found this interesting moth in our backyard, last week.
It was difficult to make out this moth on a leaf because of its shape, coloration and size. I thought its some dried leaf. The deception was very good and this beauty was so still for a long time, I could use tripod and also to measure its wingspan, 23 mm, with a scale.
I am bit busy this week too, may not be able to comment on all images.

Hi Nagaraj,
What an incredible looking moth.
I have never seen one with that shape.
Definitely unusual.
Very sharp details in good light and with an excellent presentation.
I hope you find out what it is.
TFS. : )

Hi Nagaraj,
this moth is really special and unique.
Never seen it before and thanks fortis lovely and detailed captur. If I were to see it, then I would say it is just a broken piece of dried leaf.
Excellently shown.

regards,
Foozi

Hello again Nagaraj,
What a peculiar Moth that you present very sharply here! The markings are amazing and very beautiful. I wonder if it has jusst emerged as the wings look as if they're not quite open yet, or maybe that's the way it is!
Great shot!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
