From the shape this looks more like a Ricaniid planthopper which could explain why no one has put forward an id. I was fooled by one in Madagascar that I initially thought was a moth. No idea of the species though, I don't think there are any of the family native to Europe, but some are accidental imports from more tropical areas.
