near forest road in mixed forest. IMO it could be the Portland moth ( Actebia praecox ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actebia_praecox
The light was very poor, photo is made with the help of flash, so the colors are not much trustworthy.

Moths can be so beautiful, and this one is no exception. Really great photo.
