Lunar Yellow Underwing did cross my mind as I know it shares the black "pips" on the wing that Large YU also has, but opted for latter species, even though the shape didn't seem quite right for it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is a Lunar YU.

thanks for the replys. Pic 2 coloration is turned out different due to having a bright red door and orange walls, if it helps it was brown in color and orange under the wings.
