It's not Elgiva cucularia because:
the posterior cross-vein is straight, not s-shaped
the costal cell (along the fore-margin of the wing) has a series of dark marks
the frons is not much more produced than the mouth margin
there is no mesopleural bristle! (the bristle on the first image is a notopleural)
