Black Moth, France (1 Viewer)

I didn't think this one would take long to identify, but it's stumped me. Possibly it's a melanic form of something, but I haven't found a good match for the shape.

It was caught in SW France in August.

I've fiddled around with the levels in the second photo to try to reveal some detail.

If size is right then Amphipyra livida perhaps?

That´s what I´d go for.
